Ooh! But you are missing some of the *best* moments of that adaptation! Okay, perhaps not the best ones, but some hilarious scenes that should not be skipped: - The carriage race between Lady Lucas and Mrs. Bennet, in order to have their respective spouses visit Mr. Bingley first. - The apothecary explaining to Jane what is wrong with him, with Mr. Bingley kindly explaining every puzzling sentence, popping up from behind a screen. - Every freaking scene with the goofey Mary Bennet! Certainly, those are not Austen moments at all, but oh, how they add up to this crazy adaptation. Can you tell I love it? :-) Ooh! Ooh! But you are missing some of the *best* moments of that adaptation!
