One of the greatest love stories of all time, Pride & Prejudice, comes to the screen in a glorious new adaptation starring Keira Knightley. When Elizabeth Bennett (Knightley) meets the handsome Mr. Darcy (Matthew MacFadyen), she believes he is the last man on earth she could ever marry. But as their lives become intertwined in an unexpected adventure, she finds herself captivated by the very person she swore to loathe for all eternity. Based on the beloved masterpiece by Jane Austen, it is the classic tale of love and misunderstanding that sparkles with romance, wit and emotional force. Critics are calling it "Exhilarating. A joy from start to finish"imagine experiencing, at warp speed and for 90 minutes, the reality of the infamous richard gere gerbil joke. next, add a bunch of “clever” allusions to authentic films of varying quality: die hard, mission: impossible, scarface, apocalypse now, indiana jones, and transformers. then, throw on a superficial layer of cutesy references to such bastions of pop culture as the pussycat dolls and “pimp my ride” before accessorizing with a throbbing black eyed peas musical accompaniment. it is through this unholy mating of walt disney studios with producer jerry bruckheimer that g-force was spawned. if bruckheimers presence aint enough to convince you that this movie is awash with meaningless action, then consider the fact that the director, hoyt yeatman, is not only a veteran hollywood effects pro but also, quite tellingly, was the visual effects supervisor for armageddon and the rock, both of which were directed by michael “boom!” bay. with g-force, yeatman makes his feature-length directing debut with a bunch of anthropomorphized, hyperactive cgi animals interacting with live-action humans, and its truly a miracle that he didnt blow every cast member, both of the rodent and homo sapien variety, to fur-spattered smithereens.
