" the upside of anger score 4

"a wonderful movie... five women and one man.... poor guy.... Mike bounden does not profile C.Kostners character in a negative way, he stands tall against all those ladies.... which make the movie great. Joan Allen is the best."

"Pride and Prejudice (17)
Having seen all of jane austens movies more than once will tell you how much I enjoy her books.The movie is a wonderful look into family life in the 18th century with too many daughters...
I think, all of her books have been made into movies.... having seen Jane Austens EMA atleast four times...will tell you I am a FAN...right?
Score five
Pride and Prejudice is my choice for the second viewing. "
