Movie Reviews of Regency House Party
Movie Review: Give me a Jane Austen movie (any one!) over this painful series!
Summary: 3 Stars
I asked for this series for my birthday present because I'm a huge fan of works by Jane Austen and thought it would be a dream come true to take part in this experiment, so viewing it would be fun, too. But I was wrong. Perhaps it was enjoyable for the players, but it was totally disappointing for this viewer. I suppose I shouldn't have expected a bunch of modern folks, old or young, male or female, to be as witty as the great Miss Jane and her delightful band of fictional characters, but unfortunately I did. Hence the disappointment. I give it a three, but the only real joy in the series for me was watching the various period entertainments go on - like when Sir Jeremy takes the other participants through a mock Battle of Trafalgar on a pond. It was interesting to see how people spent their time back when there was no TV. But there were also few sparks, and little wit, so I'm back to watching "Persuasion" for the umpteenth time. SAVE YOUR MONEY. This provides none of what you're looking for, Austen fans! Final thought - I agree with another reviewer who panned this - too much time was spent on Victoria and her inability to decide between suitors. Should have been called the LIBRA house party. YUCH.
Summary of Regency House Party
Does the rigid and confined world of the early nineteenth century have something to teach the young of today who are looking for love? Following the success of Manor House and Colonial House, Regency House Party gives 10 men and women - all genuinely looking for love - the chance to go back to the England of the early 1800s and live in the age of romance. The ten singles all spend nine weeks living together as they would have 200 years ago.Comedy DVD Video
