Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

Today I went to see a movie alone. Sitting in a theater by yourself can be rather enjoyable, no one is talking to you or complaining, or parading their possible new love interest in your face. Having time to yourself can be really pleasant.  It was nice, the place was new, had reclining chairs, and a dine-in service. I didn't get too crazy since I'm still fighting off a cold, but their Chopped Salad was decent.  http://blockthirtyseven.com/  It was on the fourth floor of Block Thirty Seven, which  honestly has way too many escalators that made my head spin.

Anyway, the movie itself was alright, I laughed a lot more than the other people in the theater. I suppose I understand dry English humor better than most.  The added Zombie  element to the Austen classic was rather interesting, especially since the Bennet women seemed more concerned with killing zombies than getting married. The fight scene between Elisabeth and Mr. Darcy after she refuses his first proposal was well choreographed and hilarious. (This is not a spoiler, read the damn book! Austen is an excellent writer and doesn't need zombies scattered about to make her work the least bit more interesting.)

If you've seen it, let me know what you thought about it! Did you like the the story telling, or did Austen's work fall flat with the intrusion of a zombie virus?
