Bride & Prejudice Reviews |
The premise might have looked dubious on paper, but it works brilliantly on the screen...The colorful costumes light up the screen, and the musical numbers, while not standouts, are catchy and well-placed...has a sense of humor about the inclusion of musical numbers in Bollywood productions. [read review]  --James Berardinelli (ReelViews)
Bride and Prejudice is entertaining enough. It has lavish spectacular moments, lots of local colour, gorgeous settings, beautiful actresses, and some terrible songs.But what’s the point of it? Bridget Jones’ Diary took the bare bones of the story and made it fresh. [read review] 5/10
It’s certainly colorful, and in watching it one can almost feel the enthusiasm of the filmmakers...But it’s also amateurish, with acting that’s often so flat that it seems almost cruel to emblazon it across a big screen. [read review] C-
The film is worth seeing just for their exuberance, whimsy and occasional silliness. If the movie were always as footloose and creative as it is during those moments, it would be brilliant, rather than pedestrian. [read review] B- --Eric D. Snider (EricDSnider.com)
I think the best way to sum up this film is to paraphrase 1920’s Hollywood publicity; on top of the visual feast, it’s “all singing, all dancing, all talkie, all fun!” If you see any film in 2005, see this one. [read review] 9/10
Bride & Prejudice is a fits-and-starts sort of film that does seem to find its groove once in a while, but never can maintain it for very long. [read review]  --Vince Leo (Qwipster.net)
Elegantly embroidered saris and elephants may add color and scale, but the spice is missing from this classic courtship tale. [read review] 
...it's enjoyable, colourful, exuberant and ultimately a surprisingly faithful adaptation of a near perfect book. [read review] 65/100
Energetic, colourful, enjoyable and well-acted film that is only let down by its disappointing songs. [read review]  --Matthew Turner (ViewLondon)
...Bride and Prejudice does try awfully hard to be fun. I feel bad about slamming it as a mess... [read review] 64/100 --Brian Webster (Apollo Guide)
Bride And Prejudice is a bright, splashy, and very smart film infused with wit and warmth. [read review]  --Andrea Chase (Killer Movie Reviews)
The style is visually stunning and the romance is sweet and innocent. How refreshing! [read review] B+
...most of the jokes do work, and most of the characters are quite likable. [read review]  --Jay Seaver (eFilmCritic.com)
