Bride and Prejudice

[bengalbelle]

I agree. I have the A&E version on TIVO in my bedroom and I own the DVD...a little obessessed?
I wasn't going to watch B&P, but with all of these great reviews, I am going to Blockbuster tomorrow!

You sound about as obsessed as I am. I taped (about 10 years ago, lol) the whole A&E miniseries and my DH accidently taped over it. I was upset so he went to A&E's website and ordered me the VHS boxed set. Saturday night when I had to get out of the bed 6 times to change the tapes (this was about 1am) I decided I needed the DVD set. I checked Amazon and the ones with the cover I like are only available from private sellers and start at $120.00 and I'm actually thinking about spending that much to buy one. The other special edition cover is only $28.00 (and Colin looks pretty hot on it) but the other one just seems more special to me *sigh*

Anyway, I'm anxious to hear your review of "Mr. Darcy" in Bride and Prejudice.

I can't get the song, "no life without wife" out of my head. actually looked to see if itunes had it to download for my ipod but no luck.

ME TOO!!! I've been humming it all day, since I saw this thread title this morning! It's worse that IASW!!!!

I saw this 3 times in the theaters, and it's at the top of my Netflix queue. I can't wait!!!

I have the P&P dvds and still watch it if it comes on A&E. lol. One of my most selfless acts (seriously, it really was) was lending the dvds to my grandmother-in-law. It took months to get them back (she lives 4 hours away and visited 2x and forgot them). I tried not to hyperventilate about it and eventually they did come back. phew! That was as hard (if not harder) than when I offered to lend my Lost tapes to my mil since she wanted to start watching it. It was a heartfelt offer but I am obsessed enough to have blinding pain hitting my brain as I was making it. lol. Thankfully she declined. phew!

eta if you have never read Bridget Jones and the Edge of Reason, READ it. I don't mean see the movie, I mean read the book. It is fantastic, and the parts about Colin Firth and P&P are hysterical.

I am too selfish to loan out my P&P tapes, or my LOST tapes. I'm trying to get my friend to watch LOST, but I re-taped them for her so I wouldn't have to loan out my only copy.
I can't get the Punjabi Wedding Song out of my head.

I had it in my head too! I was dancing around the house humming it to myself for the rest of the day.

 

[CourtasanSatine]

I was still humming the songs especially opening number (ok, the drooling over Sayid factor was to blame)

 

[LoraJ]

I'm finally watching it now and loving it. I think I am going to have to buy it on DVD.

Love the No Life Without Wife bit. LOLOLOL!!!

How did I miss this thread the first time around?????

Funny, I was up till 2AM last night re-watching the A&E P&P on VHS. Then went out and bought a copy of the book. I know I read it many, many years ago, but wanted to recall the 'real' story before I see the new version. I'm not too excited based on the trailer (everyone looks kind of scruffy). Darcy looks too young, though the character is only 25-26. Bengalbelle, let me know if the DVD on the A&E version has any interesting special features.....I may just have to spring for one.

I had forgotten Bride & Prejudice was available for rent.... well, its just going on 8:30....Blockbuster is still open......yeah, and Dairy Queen is on the way....uh oh.

We saw this (finally) a few weeks ago and DH and I both LOVED IT! I laughed so hard!

Great film!

B&P is a decent movie, a happy-go-lucky movie that puts you in a good mood. Though it is far from being the best that Bollywood has put out. If you liked B&P, check out these other Bollywood movies:

Kal Ho Naa Ho (Tomorrow May Not Be)
Hum Tum (You & I)
Koi...Mil Gaya (I Found Someone)
Bunty Aur Babli (Bunty and Babli)
Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (Something Is Happening)
Salaam | Namaste (Cheers | Hello)

They are primarily in Hindi, but have a good amount of English dialouge and really good song numbers.

If you rent this, make sure you check the deleted scenes. The famous P&P "are you engaged to him" scene is there.

Which reminds me, has anyone here seen the old B&W version from the 40's I think? That scene ticked me off in the movie because the aunt was like "just kidding, I want you to marry him". Bleh!

Yeah, as if Jane Austen's happy ending wasn't quite happy enough for Hollywood!
