Pride and Prejudice

Tonight I went to see Pride and Prejudice with my mom. I have to confess I would not have paid to go see this movie...but I needed out of the house and Mom offered...and I have to say, sometimes moms know what is good. I thought it was a wonderful movie and would even go and see it again!

But what I really wanted to share with you is one line from the movie (sorry, I do not know the characters so well as I never read the book) where Elizabeth's friend has agreed to marry Mr. Collins who Elizabeth turned down because he drove her nuts. I wish I had the exact quote from this, but the idea is here...

"I'm 27, single, a burden on my family, and I have no prospects! So don't you dare judge me for marrying Mr. Collins!"

So I have to say that at this point in the movie, my mom and I were laughing hysterically...it's like Jane Austen looked into the future, saw me and decided to write about me in that first part of the line! Anyhow, if you see the movie, you will hear the line I am talking about and laugh. It was a good movie, as far as I am concerned...I highly recommend it! :)
