Movie Reviews of Lost in Austen
Movie Review: Loved It!
Summary: 5 Stars
I rented this movie on Netflix and watched it, unsure of what I would experience. I LOVED IT!!!! I have never read nor seen the movies of Pride and Prejudice so the first time watching it had its confusing moments but all it did was make me go out and get the book to catch the entire back story. This movie is so amazing that I've watched it again and again. In order to return my rented version, I am buying this movie through Amazon! Any time I'd seen Pride and Prejudice mentioned, I'd shown no interest but now after watching this movie, I am reading the book and I have 2 of the movie reproductions coming via Netflix as well! I'm an addict now. :) This is a must see!Movie Review: I'm Lost in Austenland.....
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderfully creative twist on "Pride and Prejudice" where a modern London girl, Amanda Price, enters the story she has been dreaming of her whole life...right at the beginning...she knows all but can't make things happen quite the way it happened in the Austen novel. Meanwhile Elizabeth Bennett takes up residence in Modern Day London. If you know P&P and esp. if you are familiar with the Colin Firth movie version, you will be Laughing OUT LOUD!!! The acting, screenplay, art direction and photography are top notch!! I have never enjoyed "Pride and Prejudice" more! If you cannot wait for the DVD version in April, you can watch it online at:

Movie Review: Screwed up in a funny way
Summary: 5 Stars
Yes indeed Jane Austen would be rolling over in her grave as Miss Amanda declares. This movie is double edged and fun to keep up with. I laughed at Miss Amanda's quirky little reactions. I love movies one has to pay attention to in order to keep up with the story and you do have to pay attention here. There are some moments when you slap your palm to your face and go, "What the heck?" Miss Amanda compares her world to that of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice and wishes fervently that she was in that world. There's an old saying that is very applicable here: be careful what you wish for.
A fun,twisted, pay attention movie that I highly recommend.
Movie Review: Great series for lovers of Austen
Summary: 5 Stars
This short series from British television is so entertaining. Jemima Rooper does a great job as a modern woman caught between her mundane, stressful life in London with a noncommittal boyfriend, and her escape into the romantic elegance of "Pride and Prejudice." She gets the chance to incredibly enter the life of the Bennett household, exchanging places with Lizzy Bennett, with confusing, amusing, and at times messy consequences. The concept is similar to a novel of a few years ago, "The Eyre Affair" and a few other time- travel romances, but even without similar concept comparisons if you love Jane Austen on the screen and on the page, you'll love this show.Movie Review: Entertaining and refreshing
Summary: 5 Stars
I was curious about this movie being a Pride and Prejudice fanatic. I was quite surprise it had a new twist to the whole thing. I decided to watch the movie with curiosity as to the characters playing. I liked it a lot. It's like a combination of Bridgette Jones and Pride and Prejudice. I think the character of Jemima was so funny !!! It definitely had some funny, witty moments that caught my attention. I grew to like the Mr. Darcy character although I still prefer Colin firth and Matthew Macfadyen. I didn't think I would grow so fond of this movie but I can understand why a movie site gave it an 8.1/10.00. A new twist and a refreshing new idea.
