...times, watching this Pride and Prejudice is not unlike reading the wedding pages of the Sunday New York Times, always a banquet of telling socioeconomic detail (alma maters, parents' occupations). You remember that most people travel in small orbits and that the chauffeur's daughter doesn't marry Harrison Ford. That's Austen: romantic comedy with a bracing slap of social truth...
...Thank God for a bad haircut," says Greg Kinnear, 32, of his good fortune. But Sabrina was lucky too. Kinnear, host of NBC's Later and, before that, the E! channel's Talk Soup, swipes his scenes from Hollywood belle du jour Julia Ormond and nearly matches Harrison Ford for easy radiance. In his first major film role, Kinnear seems comfy-cozy on the big screen, humanizing a character--Ford's playboy brother--who could easily be a thin, tennis-anyone anachronism.

Ford's muttering misanthropy may actually be funnier than Bogart's harder, more sardonic take on Linus. Ormond is no Audrey Hepburn, but Hepburn was sui generis, and Ormond does have a shy charm all her own. And there is a wastrely weakness about Kinnear's good looks that suits David more neatly than Holden's square-cut handsomeness...
