Bride and Prejudice... whatcha think?

[Chernabog]

Just wondered if anyone saw Bride and Prejudice -- Morrigoon and I did last nite it's a retelling "inspired" (obviously) by Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, but set mostly in India. It was directed by Gurinder Chadha who did that kickass "Bend it Like Beckham" movie

The movie was told in a mesh of Hollywood and Bollywood style, with cute (but not very memorable) musical numbers and some top notch performances. Aishwarya Rai (I think that's her name) in the title role is amazingly beautiful and talented. For some reason she reminded Morrigoon and I of Kirstie Alley before Kirstie let herself go.

ANYWAY, I am not a big Jane Austen kinda person and I really did enjoy the film, even if it did start to drag plotwise about half an hour before it ended.

On a side note, the director has really really good taste in men -- Martin Henderson (as Mr. Darcy) and Daniel Gillies (as Mr. Wickham)are both way hot AND appear shirtless, lol. (Tho Jonathan Rhys-Meyers from "Bend It" is still hotter). What can I say, I am easily amused by boytoys....
