i have read plenty of jane austen in my time and approve of several cinema or tv adaptation but this one we just do not need . rating be a 2 a i wouldn not say it awful just so boring you will feel like you have waste 90 minute of your life . dull script match by even duller act . i have hear billie piper be ok in dr who ( not a fan so can not confirm ) but in this she just suck . there be absolutely no chemistry between the lead . this be austen and it suppose to be a romance . please do not let this put you off austen or historical drama . there be plenty of good programme to view .
