If you take it completely on its own terms and don't see it as an Austen adaptation, there's stuff in it that is fun.

There’s nothing wrong with updating Austen, but this isn’t so much updating the book as performing a gut renovation.

A joyful, tongue in cheek and thoroughly self-aware parody.

There could have never been another Jane Austen adaptation so out of touch with its source material, so facile in its storytelling, so unimaginative in its romance.
