Critics Consensus

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies manages to wring a few fun moments out of its premise, but never delivers the thoroughly kooky mashup its title suggests.

Steers' adaptation of Grahame-Smith's source material is a heck of a lot of fun.

Rated: 3/4

This adaptation of the spoof novel Pride and Prejudice and Zombies ditches some of the book's darker elements to make a streamlined female-empowerment story.

Rated: 3.5/5

The movie strives to be both scary and funny but winds up being neither.

This isn’t a throwaway movie. Despite its issues, it is still fun and manages to be more entertaining than it had any right to be.

Rated: 3/5

Deep Focus Review

Exploits our culture's current obsession with zombies, but it lacks the winking charm hinted upon with its title.

Rated: 1.5/4

Seth Grahame-Smith's novel brings a modern classic bang up to date while always maintaining respect for the original material, and it looks as though this adaptation will do it justice.

I thought this was going to be more of a comedy, but it really doesn't have that much. It's more like Pride and Prejudice as it is, plus the zombies, which don't have that great screen time; it's more of the known issues of the Bennett sisters but in this case are also trained warriors

It doesn’t take itself seriously, but it’s too subdued to be anything more than mildly amusing.

Trasposizione leggera che, partendo dal romanzo da cui è tratta, concentra tutti i suoi sforzi nel tentare di unire nella breve durata di un film, tutte le dinamiche amorose che possono coinvolgere i personaggi (o almeno i protagonisti) e una serie di sequenze di azione con zombie dagli ottimi costumi ma non proprio centrali nella trama. Il risultato è un film sicuramente godibile che però finisce per non soddisfare realmente pochi spettatori; la differenza tra i due generi è molto ampia e non viene colmata, probabilmente la principale motivazione è la totale assenza di drammaticità che risulta artificiale e forzata; soprattutto perchè non supportata da un'ironia che avrebbe indirizzato la pellicola da un'altra parte. Il risultato finale è un film poco entusiasmante nonostante tutti i suoi sforzi e con un finale troppo epico per la scelta di restare in tema di commedia.

Looking for the best films for my private little Jane Austen Film festival, I stumbled upon this gem of P&P. I decided to suspend PREJUDICE and watch the entire movie, it's a bit gory, true, but stays true to form, and will appeal to younger audiences with the Miss Bennets in dresses doing amazing martial arts, which cannot hurt keep Miss Austen's name alive. Actually a fun version! Just try it!!

One of a kind. I fell in love with all the characters in the movie, even the villains. The movie has a lot of charm and originality, makes you laugh, makes your skin crawl, makes you wish there was a sequel... Also, Matt Smith does a brilliant job as a comic relief. Can we, please, get a sequel? Pretty please!

I don't how any one can give this movie less than a 4 star review it is exactly what it appears to be, Pride and Prejudice with zombies. If I had 1 complaint, and I do, I wish the zombies changed the Pride and Prejudice storyline more.
