Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

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

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

kleigh-06761 This movie is even funnier than the book! My favorite quote from the movie is "Jane Austen got it all wrong." So many of the characters have been very tweaked to be the polar opposite of their literary characters, which is a wonderful surprise and very funny.

SnoopyStyle Londoner Amanda Price (Jemima Rooper) is a fanatic for Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. She reads it over and over again. The modern world is unsatisfying. Her uncouth boyfriend drunkenly proposes to her. Elizabeth Bennet walks through a hidden door traveling from the Austen literary world into Amanda's bathroom. At the second time, Amanda walks through the door while Elizabeth stays behind and the door gets locked. Amanda pretends to be Elizabeth's friend as the story of Pride and Prejudice unfolds. The story goes wrong and Amanda struggles to set things right.Jemima Rooper is a great brassy fish out of water. She's a terrific comedic actress. I don't think this is only for fans of Pride and Prejudice. Although a passing knowledge of the characters would be helpful. A deep fandom may actually hinder enjoyment because this is more like an alternate universe. It's great to have a Hex reunion with Christina Cole. I would have liked to have Elizabeth stay in the entire story especially if she's played by Gemma Arterton. This is a fun romp for fans of all kinds.

Dunham16 A character named Amanda Price living in modern London is not unlike Jane Austen's Fanny Price in her novel MANSFIELD PARK. In this romantic fantasy she enters the milieu of another Austen novel- PRIDE AND PREJUDICE which does not follow the novel's storyboard and includes references to the other Austen novels among them NORTHANGER ABBEY, PERSUASION, EMMA and SENSE AND SENSIBILITY. Though well acted and edited the hodgepodge of an Austen related plot not following the novel it claims to mimic as well as the juxtaposition of eighteenth and twentieth century settings can be upsetting at times. Though each scene is fascinating and well done when excerpted the hodgepodge of the changing visual and the changing storyline from the novel may delight one viewer yet disappoint another.

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.
