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.

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.

A thoroughly entertaining movie with a toon and romance. While it has fun with the literary source, it also weaves in some of the core themes from the book

Its okay, its pretty entertaining ill give you that. The storyline starts off interesting but then the love story takes over and falls flat. Them falling in love makes no sense, it kind of just happens, like the things he does doesnt make up for the reasons she rejected him in the first place. The outcome is also pretty predictable, im sure most people would be able to guess what happens in the 2nd act and exactly how the movie ends. The action was great, it was great seeing the girls kick butt and wreck zombies, but when the love story becomes the center of the story in the second act, it loses its charm.

When it uses the events of its source material to directly affect its more gonzo elements, it works with a certain amount of charm. When it simply tries to make a zombie-in-Regency-era movie, where the only joke is that zombies don't belong in that time, it fails. It keeps some of the effectively juvenile humour of the book, but when it tries to branch out too far it just becomes lame and unfunny.

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.
