Early reviews of the movie have started coming in. American critics so far have been more appreciative of the film than their British and Indian counterparts.
'Gurinder Chadha's Bride And Prejudice is a pretty movie,' started the review in the Chicago Tribune 'but it's also a pretty crazy one: an imitation Bollywood-Hollywood musical loosely based on Jane Austen's Pride And Prejudice.'
'On the other hand,' declared Michael Wilmington, 'it's knowingly off-the-rails -- and if you're in a tolerant or adventurous mood, very entertaining.'
He gave the film three (out of four) stars.
