ALL of the Pride and Prejudice movies are better than the book is a hill that I am willing to die on and I liked the book, but it was dry and unless you know a lot of what life was like then, the "humor" does come across as humor.

*doesn't come across

The visual medium does so much good work in translating the time period and the social structure to a removed audience. I do think it's pretty easily translatable, and I'd credit Austen with that, tho.

I know this was a long time ago, but since you logged in, I thought I would respond. Yes, I would also give credit to Jane Austen. However, I know quite a few people, myself included, who became Austen fans after watching the movies after reading the books. So, we read the books, didn't quite "get it", watched a few of the movies, and then re-read the books and loved them. I belong to a few AUsten groups on FB

I can definitely understand that actually, I do think that there's a lot of distance between Austen humor and recognizable humor even 50 years later, so I completely understand getting it from a movie and then loving the book that much more.
