It's interesting to see how each P&P retelling incorporates that famous first line. This one is so cheeky, with just a nod to the original. Love it

Jane and I spent yesterday making scones and watching all 6 hrs of 1995 Pride and Prejudice. It was wonderful. 🎩

so-soI didn't realize going in this was a parody. I don't usually enjoy that genre, so that undoubtedly affects my rating. This was ok, but the over-the-top farce elements didn't work for me. Probably just a wrong-reader situation. This was my 2nd adaptation of P&P for this month's #JaneAustenThenandNow challenge. @Crinoline_Laphroaig
Loving the dedication. Starting this before I head to watch the original movie on the big screen! @Crinoline_Laphroaig #janeaustenthenandnow
My evening activities consisted of the last episode of BBC Pride & Prejudice and a bubble bath 🛁 #selfcare

pickI'm so glad I finally made myself read this one! Not only did I fall for all of the below-stairs personalities, I appreciated the great perspective on what it takes to keep the Bennets sisters in clean petticoats and shoe roses. I loved that we got to see glimpses of Lizzy after her marriage, too, and of course some closure for our heroine Sarah. If you've not read it, #PemberLittens, don't wait as long as I did! #JaneAustenThenAndNow
pickI enjoyed this slowly unfolding novel about Anne de Bourgh. It only briefly touched on the storyline from Pride and Prejudice but I liked the direction it took. #JaneAustenThenAndNow @Crinoline_Laphroaig
pickI hadn't watched since it first came out. Had forgotten how good it was.
Favorite things:
Matt Smith as Parson Collins
I want boots and thigh holster for cosplay.
And Lizzy. Such a badass. ⚔️🎩🧟♂️

#PemberLittens 20th Anniversary showing of Pride and Prejudice definitely called for dressing up. Niece in law Jen and I had the best time. We sighed, we laughed, we clapped.

🎞 1940s P & P. I could let it go that the clothes and hair are all wrong, if they hadn't cut so much of the story. It made Elizabeth and Darcy falling in love come out of nowhere.
It's been a long time since I rewatched the complete Masterpiece Theatre 1980 P & P that introduced teenage me to Jane Austen. I liked Elizabeth! Had forgotten how uptight Darcy was in this one. ⬇️
