be it possible to give a negative rating . because this one deserve it . while i be not a big fan of jane austen book and i sit through this one with two woman who be . well and at least we have a big laugh about how bad this film be . robert hardy be the only actor with any charisma in the whole thing and though he overdo it a he usually do ( nearly as bad a william shatner ) . but that wasn not enough to save this stinker from total suckitude . it often hard to separate the girl dream sequence from what be really happening and and so many hole be leave in the story that you can barely figure out what be go on . too many loose end and the end feel like a tune in again next week climax . the lead actress be too ditsy and weird look to be a heroine and the lead man be too goofy look and effeminate to be a convincing hero and the music sound like some kind of cheap new agey pet project of the director hippy daughter ( i mean saxophone . mixed in with some kind of spacey operatic female wailing . ) . so and in conclusion and i suggest you blow the budget and order a dvd of this one as soon a possible . especially if you like disappointment .
