Jane Austen's perennially popular story of the game of love among the British upper classes returns to the screen in this polished film adaptation. The Bennetts (
Brenda Blethyn and
Donald Sutherland) are the parents of five daughters near the close of the 18th century. Comfortable within their means but well short of rich, Mr. and Mrs. Bennett are looking for suitable husbands for their girls, and they are encouraged to learn that an eligible young bachelor from a wealthy family,
Charles Bingley (
Simon Woods), has moved into a nearby estate. Eager to see if a match can be made, the Bennetts bring their daughters
Elizabeth (
Keira Knightley) and
Jane (
Rosamund Pike) to a ball thrown by their new neighbor to see if sparks will fly.
Jane seems to like
Charles, and he appears to feel the same, but
Elizabeth takes an immediate dislike to
Darcy (
Matthew MacFadyen),
Charles' egocentric best friend. While
Elizabeth is infatuated with military man
Lt. Wickham (
Rupert Friend) and finds herself courted by
William Collins (
Tom Hollander), a well-meaning but drab man of the cloth, fate causes
Elizabeth and
Darcy to frequently cross paths, and while they don't care for one another, they can't stop thinking about each other, either.
Pride & Prejudice also stars
Jena Malone,
Judi Dench, and
Penelope Wilton.
