-Jane Austen has proved to be
one of the most durable authors of all time,
judging by how many adaptations, extrapolations,
and rip-offs of her work have been made in recent years.
The latest, "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies," stars Lily James
as the headstrong Elizabeth Bennett,
who, like her sisters, has been trained in martial arts
in order to battle the army of zombies
who've invaded England.
This movie bombed on Rotten Tomatoes,
coming in rotten at 42%.
So, Grae, what did you think?

-You really were? -Oh, my god.
I thought it was so fun.
-Check, please. -[ Laughs ]
-Really? -Yes!
-Really really?
-I'm not a fan of Jane Austen films,
but this movie with zombies in it made me laugh,
and I thought it was really cool.
-I couldn't stand it. I really couldn't.
I was ready for it to be fun.
From the title, I said, "Well, this ought to be fun."
And for me, it was not. It's so bleak.
It's drained of color to make it even more bleak-looking.
-I think you need to loosen up your corset.
