Bride and Prejudice (2005)


4 stars out of 5

I got this movie from Netflix for a date night movie. I tried to pick the highest-rated chick flick I could find, but I was still pretty pessimistic over what I would get. What would Bollywood send my way?

I was pleasantly surprised. Perhaps it was my very low expectations, but I thought the movie was hilariously funny. Sheralie also liked it because it was romantic (for the slow of thought, it is based on "Pride and Prejudice"). It is a musical, which I usually don't care for. But many of the songs are really funny and it was not too much. I don't even like the "Pride and Prejudice" plot, but the adaptation for cultural differences (India vs. US) was terrific.

Great acting too from India's biggest star (the female lead) and Sayid from Lost. I would recommend to most people searching for some date night entertainment.
