Movie Reviews of Lost in Austen

Movie Review: American vs British version
Summary: 3 Stars

I watched the North American version (1 DVD) and enjoyed it tremendously, but didn't understand some of the scenes until I read the reviews which detailed missing parts, especially the "Downtown" scene. I was able to get the British mini-series as shown on TV (PAL) and boy what a difference editing with a chainsaw makes! While the one sold here is funny, the original is really the best since it provides more insight into Amanda's relationship with her boyfriend, etc., things that really didn't make sense. I mean, he didn't seem like that much of a boor or so totally clueless in the American version. So, if at all possible, get your hands on the complete version. The behind the scenes short on the American version was very interesting.

Summary of Lost in Austen

Amanda Price is sick of the modern world. She yearns for the romance and elegance found in the books by her favorite author, Jane Austen. But she's about to get a rude awakening as one fateful evening, she is propelled into the scheming 19th century world of Pride and Prejudice while that book's Elizabeth Bennet is hurled into hers. As the book's familiar plot unfolds, Amanda triggers new romantic twists and turns within the Bennet family circle as she clumsily tries to help the sisters nab husbands and even captivates the tantalizing Mr. Darcy herself. But what about Elizabeth...and what will become of one of the world's greatest love stories?
