Completely unrelatable adaptation. My parent is just as annoying as Mrs Bennet, but the stakes are different: she wants me to get a mythological job whereby I can support her , buy her a house and a car, so that she "doesn't have to work."   Of course, I have a job, but not one that permits me to pay for her life.  Her fantasies are not at all about my getting married or having a relationship, but about HER, which is what Bridget Jone's Diary focused on as a subplot. And for this reason BJD was a relatable, modern adaptation..  Do all the sisters have to be white girls with auburn hair? I'm in a family where there are two redheads and the rest are not. This isn't realistic or relatable. And yes, you've got the "token" asian girl as Charlotte, but isn't that too patronizing! I think it'd be much more modern, if you chose a family of color so that questions of race can be substituted for questions of wealth. And then have your heroine stand up for herself as a "racial other." Now that would be radical.  Oh, and I'm half asian with dark skin, btw, and I happen to think you could push more boundaries here. This script is not challenging enough. I don't get the impression you're doing something new with the source material; the problem with the lead character is that I don't really care about her and her privileged problems. And yes, I know Elizabeth Bennet is a gentleman's daughter, but we don't need a character who acts so unaware of her own (white) privilege.    And if that speech about being a grad student was supposed to mark some kind of awareness of her posture in life, it shouldn't be a hackneyed speech that we've seen all before.
