My overall opinion: A good movie! Follows the book very closely, using many quotes from it. I enjoyed it! On a side note...I like Colin Firth better as the 1995 Mr. Darcy than as this weird guy.

I may have to check this movie out--I do love the play! Are they faithful to Oscar Wilde's original story? Are there any objectionable scenes? The costumes do look lovely.
Oh--after looking again, I noticed that you did say they followed the book closely. Sorry!
