While I understand her reasoning why she wants her daughters to be married to "money", she is just too dumb and theatrical for me. But, of course, what would P&P without her?

They even made a second one with the inevitable Keira Knightley in one of the main roles (I think a whole generation grows up thinking every main classic character looks like her). Not bad, but definitely the one with Omar Sharif is the best.
