Review: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

By Jaskee Hickman
February 5, 2016

Lily James and Bella Heathcote star in Screen Gems' PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler star in SISTERS

House party movies will never go away. From my generation’s Can’t Hardly Wait, to the millennials’ Project X, watching a house full of teens let loose their angst and indulge their hormones will always have an audience. What we rarely see is a reunion, as adults, throwing an equally epic house party. Old School hinted at the arrested development in …
