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.

3/4

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

3.5/5

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.

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.

1.5/4

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

3.5/5

Makes the best of its one joke, the mashup of Austen romantic fiction with zombie realism, deftly (and ridiculously) blending the sublime with the ultraviolent.

Y'all ain't right. This movie is absolutely brilliant. I can't believe they managed to make a regency romance on the very literally taken bones of Pride and Prejudice and map all these concepts onto a zombie movie. It is so damn funny. Definitely read Pride and Prejudice first -- if you don't enjoy the book I doubt the movie will speak to you. But I love Jane Austen and I think this is truly excellent.

People are just haters fr. This movie came out 10 years ago, but it's still super fun and adventurous. Love Lily James in general, but she's great as a kickass Lizzie Bennet, and I think Sam Riley is a perfect Mr Darcy. He has that moody, aloof vibe. 8/10 :D

I think this movie is perfect when you are bored and you want to laugh a bit. I loved this movie, maybe not the best adaptation, but I think the funniest and coolest one.

Fun and frothy and filled with humour. Lena Hedey steals every scene she’s in. Shame they never made a sequel
