Movie Reviews of Lost in Austen
Movie Review: Clever funny dialogue
Summary: 5 Stars
I thoroughly enjoyed the premise of this movie which plays with paranormal time travel and changing reality. Jemima Rooper as Amanda has very funny lines and predicaments that she lands in that were extremely funny and from which she has to extricate herself with wit and hilarious results. She commands an excellent portrayal of her lovable character with candid comedic facial expressions that did me in. One must listen carefully to her 21st century mind trying to download into 19th century England. I loved the dialogue and particularly enjoyed Mr. Bennet's exasperated demeanor and humorous anecdotes about his life. All in all, the actors are all wonderful, and you will love Jemima Rooper's character. The movie is in keeping with the Austen themes of romantic characters with only romance on their minds.Movie Review: Love Time Travel Movies
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this movie! Any movie where the main character gets sucked into the lives and characters of their favorite novel is exciting.I have a lot of novels that I have read in which I will love to actually become a character in that story. Especially period pieces. It would be interesting to see what that would be like for a day or more. The only part I was disappointed in was when they cut out the scene where Jemima Rooper's character was singing "Down Town". I watched it online. On the DVD, the characters wanted to hear her sing and that next thing you know, there applauding and commenting on her singing, without her ever singing. I don't know if it was omitted because of copyright laws on the song or what. But it would have been nice to have left it in. Otherwise, I had no other complaints.Movie Review: I really Loved this movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
I really did LOVE this movie. I am a huge fan Of Jemima Rooper from HEX. It was very interesting to see her do a period piece, are there anymore with her in it? Anyway, I love Jane Austen and this was a Perfect find too introduce people to Lady Austen in a way that is not too stuffy and pretentious.
I fell in Love with all of the characters and I was really hoping that it was actually a start to a TV Series. That could still happen, right? LOL
I highly recommend this movie to people that enjoy Historicals,Time Travel and Comedy. Because make no mistake this Movie is ALL of these things.
I cried and laughed while rooting for both main characters. In a weird way i wanted them both to have
Mr. Darcy. (oh man, not like THAT!, Sorry.)
Movie Review: This is quirky!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love the books that continue Jane's stories, but this modern movie is a terrific idea. Elizabeth in present-day England is something I've never wondered about, but I have thought of all the women in love with Colin Firth/Darcy wanting to go back in time. To before-Netherfield Derbyshire. Our heroine Amanda from present-day London is one of these. There is a scene where she asks this Darcy to go in the pond and get his shirt wet..... well. Hot and hysterical. Amanda tries to direct all the Austen characters in the way the book would go, but you'll have to check out the results yourself. It wasn't just a happy romantic or funny movie, I also caught myself feeling anxious for the outcome of the movie. Thus it became even more enjoyable, with tension in the plot that makes it great.Movie Review: austen
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched the whole three hours cause i could not find myself to turn it off. I found it very good and done really well. Amanda Price is in love with the book Pride and Prejudice and ends up switching places with no other than Elizabeth Bennet thanks to a portal in her bathroom. She gets stuck in the world of austen and everything goes all twisted. I won't say what but it seems that Jane Austen would have to re-write the book with all them changes. I must say that it was cool seeing Elizabeth Bennet with short hair and wearing modern day clothing, not to forget seeing Darcy in present day London as well. If your a Jane Austen fan like I am, then for sure you will enjoy this film with big twist from the orginal Pride and Prejudice.
