I'm assuming the source material had the comedy elements rather than Ang Lee going off piste with a period piece. It definitely seemed more 'played for laughs' than Pride & Prejudice (which had some funny character studies but less overt humour).

Not really a genre I'd seek out and I didn't find the romance or drama overly compelling, but this rattled along nicely due to the near constant light humour that was deftly done.
