For all the people complaining of who is not beautiful enough to play whoever: you must remember our Hollywood-ized version of beauty and what was considered beauty back then are very different. For one, skinny was out. It was preferable to have meat, breasts and curves.

Secondly what constituted as a pretty girl was one who was dressed in the latest fashions in both hair and clothing had a very nice complexion and the perfect tiny lips. You see by looking well put together you were at average a pretty girl. And this is a time when natural beauty was preferred over makeup. And it's not like MAC was around the corner anyways.

The Jane in this version is perfect because if you look on book covers and paintings of the Napoleonic or Regency era SHE (Jane) resembles how those women looked.

I think a lot of times, which version is preferred is the one seen first. This version follows the book(including what the characters supposedly looked like) the best, due to length, probably. I actually liked Bridget Jones' Diary over the Knightly version. Colin Firth, in the role of Darcy, again, would be the reason.

The 2005 version is so much better to me!

As Lady Catherine would have it 'This is all so very vexing!' People keep comparing the different versions of Pride and Prejudice ... Why not enjoy what there is and celebrate the differences, not rip them apart...BUT I must say I do prefer Colin and Jennifer's version...As my daughter would say *woof woof* indeed :0)x

"Come dahcy. I must have you dance. I MUST."I respect this very meticulous adaption, but in my mind, Darcy is too short, the secondary actors not what they could be, Mary too old to play it though she is a good actress, not as youthful and playful as Lizzy, and Jane's hair looks like a cake.
