Oh, dear. This was not good. I can deal with cheesy, and I liked the idea of gender-swapping the lead characters in this modern-day Pride and Prejudice reimagining. But the writing was just so bad. Everything felt frantic (I like you, I don't like you, I'm marrying someone else, I called off the wedding, me too, I love you, wait I'm not sure, OK yeah I love you -- all in about two weeks!), Luke was not really like Elizabeth Bennet at all, and Darcy was not believable as a super successful business person. I really want to love Austen retellings, but there are a lot of bad ones out there, and this is one of them.
