1.5 stars. SighEye Roll. I know the original was set in 1807 or something, but I thought this was supposed to be a modern take on the Austen tale. Possible spoilers to follow: The men are all generals, or entrepreneurs or lawyers, the women are.... well, they don't really have jobs, because who needs a job when daddy or a prospective hubby can look after you another eye roll. Cat's obsession with vampires and Twilight really made her seen all the more juvenile and unlikable, and Ellie needs to ‘woman up' (before the epilogue) and get out from under her father's shadow - WHO WONT ALLOW HER TO GO TO SCHOOL!!!. Hmmm - modern tale indeed.
