"It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single girl of high standing at Longbourn Academy must be in want of a prom date." In this entertaining homage to Pride and Prejudice, scholarship student Lizzie Bennet is disgusted by rich Will Darcy. Austen's plot is meticulously translated to the modern-day setting, though the weight of this faithfulness sometimes flattens the story.
