I haven't seen the A&E version; I should rent it sometime. The movie wasn't particularly amazing, as a movie, but I think it did an excellent job of capturing everything about the book that I loved -- all my favorite lines were there, well delivered. There is some wonderful, very subtle acting between the two leads. And, of course, Keira Knightley is teh hawtness.
Yes, Keira Knightley is a hottie. She looks even better in rain-soaked period dresses than in tightly bound straps of leather.
I've never read any of Austen's stuff, so have no opinion on her writing. The movie was acceptable post-T-day feast diversion with my baby sis. It was the only movie we both hadn't seen, was scheduled when we could make it, and were both vaguely interested in seeing.
It did remind me of why we don't let teenage girls get married anymore. (Usually.)
