Greenes Please don't spend money on this.

SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

sbjalr0812-745-637907 Coin Furth is just a guy who plays Mr. Darcy but Elliot Cowan becomes the real Mr Darcy who doesn't know he is a character in a book that will one day become Pride and Prejudice. He managed to make me sympathetic even though with the balance of the events mixed up the reasons Mr. Darcy goes from being a unsympathetic to sympathetic character are kind of gone. The concept is cool and I think the casting was spot on but I think that the redemption doesn't really happen. In the end it's just entertainment but it's fun, and Amanda is like most women who deserve to find their own Mr Darcy rather than marry someone who doesn't love them.

Ioana P I was so in love with this TV-series that I watched it five times already and that is unusual of me.First things first, you get a lot of visual gorgeousness! Absolutely amazing atmospheric settings, it just can't get any better in my opinion! The buildings, the interiors and most importantly the light!... It travels you to this intentionally fantastic world, that imagined past that all romantics dream about. Top that with beautiful talented actors that show off their characters so well and you see why this can get addictive! A few words about our romance story: delicious, moving, jealousy worthy ... but I have to admit it does seem a bit forced. Amanda Price is indeed lovable for her humanity and sincerity. On the other hand she does not fit in the idle society of the conceited aristocracy whose manners reveal pure courteous deceit. She does not know neither wants to be diplomatic and causes all kinds of blunders. Darcy appreciates that honorable quality of speaking the truth above all odds and gets to love her for that but... that is not apparent throughout the episodes. At some point he really doesn't like her and has reason to. His subsequent 180 degrees change of heart is not that believable even for his context. Could Amanda really inspire such a passion? Honestly I don't think so. But it sort of works... Even in the beginning her short-term fancy with the very handsome Mr Bingley that is very soon forgotten and resolves into the great love story between him and Jane... is not all that believable is it?...Of course there is humor and parody every step of the way. The reason for that is very clear: this is NOT Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice! That's why it let down so many people. This is Lost in Austen and as the title implies it is the story of the reader's adventure into the world of their favorite book, of their personal, intimate relationship with that world... The text is there, but we as readers do more than just acknowledge it. We live with it, in it, we "touch" it, we let our fantasies roam and so these characters can come alive... Through us and our imagination. This is what it is about, therefore I suggest you leave the "real" Darcy and the "real" Elisabeth aside when criticizing this series and just enjoy a fun, adventurous, gorgeous love story! There are as I said shortcomings. But all in all it is very enjoyable to watch! Well done to the crew and the actors!

nechievelasco Abominable. I regret ever having watched this, I only did it out of curiosity. It is so twisted that even the very soul of P&P has been lost.There was nothing to love about Darcy in this movie -- the movie never showed the goodness in his character and his heart, he just fell in love with Amanda even though he despised her. DUH? He neither helped Lydia nor Jane, and worse, he proposed to Caroline Bingley, who was, in the movie, a lesbian! And I cringe at the cheap imitation of the lake scene. Elizabeth Bennet was totally out of the movie, except in the first 10 minutes and the last 10 minutes of the movie. And there are worse things... Jane got married to Collins. Their marriage made a drunkard out of Charles Bingley who eloped with Lydia and almost killed Mr. Bennet. And the good guy is Wickham! The movie had Georgiana confessing that she made up the story about the planned elopement and Wickham was the one helping Amanda all throughout in the movie.I was actually half expecting Amanda to end up with Wickham, or at least wake up from a bad dream. But she ends up with Darcy!Badly done! Badly done indeed.

howardmorley All the actors inhabit their parts splendidly and as the novel is so well known, the producer, director, screenwriter & actors have produced a very different comic spoof and slant of JA's classic work.It is especially enjoyable for her many aficionados who have all of her novels and own film adaptations of them on DVD but also possess a sense of humour.I understand from IMDb.com there is to be a 2011 feature film based on "Lost in Austen" which me and my wife will undoubtedly want to see when it is released.It would be logical if this film portrayed Elizabeth coping with life in 2011 Hammersmith and for the viewers to see a mirror image of the plot brought forward to the present day as we only saw Gemma Arteton (Elizabeth) towards the end and briefly in the first episode setting the scene.I have awarded this miniseries 8/10.P.S.I thought Hugh Bonneville as MR B. especially entertaining.
