Yes, Colin Firth IS Mr. Darcy in our hearts. But don’t let that stop you from rushing out to see the latest adaptation of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice starring Kiera Knightley as Lizzie, Matthew MacFadyen as the delectable Mr. Darcy, Donald Sutherland as Mr. Bennett, and Dame Judith Dench as Lady Catherine de Bourg. The movie is not only stunningly beautiful to behold, but infinitely sigh-worthy. I won’t spoil it for you…but when Lizzie and Darcy dance at the Netherfield ball (big sigh)…when Mr. Bennett gives Lizzie and Darcy his consent (try to stop the tears)…and when the couple meets on the moors in the early morning (heart leaps into throat). All of this, the whole story, in just over two hours. Amazing. Two gloved thumbs up!
