UnowPriceless hyped garbage
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
nebulouseyes MR. DARCY MR. DARCY MR. DARCY MR. DARCY MR. DARCY MR. DARCY The main character, Elizabeth Scott is ridiculous, immature, & obnoxious. She pouts when she doesn't get her way & is so hostile to Darcy; her constant digs about his wealth are tiresome and beyond rude. The acting is pretty bad, Ryan Paevey is the only exception.Um, there's a plot--something about dogs...blah, blah, blah-- WATCH IT FOR RYAN PAEVEY.TOTAL SNACK.
mthomas-25020 I enjoyed watching this movie. Don't watch "Marrying Mr. Darcy" if you have not seen "Unleashing Mr. Darcy" first. It is a movie you can watch with your family. It is a kids friendly movie.
Kim Ren Come on people... this is Hallmark... not Masterpiece Theater. It is what it is and although based on Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice, there should be NO comparison to the book or BBC series whatsoever. This is by far one of my more favorite Hallmark movies and I loved it. As with all Hallmark movies, the romance is a bit weak at best (need more kissing & groping - how could one keep their hands of Ryan Paevy). I hope they step it up a bit in the sequel, Marrying Mr Darcy, which will air on Hallmark Channel in June 2018. The lead character, Ryan Paevy (Donovan Darcy), is dishy and very easy on the eyes. If Hallmark did anything right with this show it is in casting a gorgeous hunk to play Mr Darcy. He is exactly who I picture now when I read Pride & Prejudice. Well done!
boblipton Jane Austen has been a longtime favorite of film makers and BBC programmers. Her novels of women's plights and the wonderful clothes that upper class English people wear have become the modern fairy tale model. As a result, it was almost inevitable that the Hallmark Channel would use Miss Austen's PRIDE AND PREJUDICE as the basis for one of their movies.Unhappily, in doing so, they have reduced the story to a series of incidents that ignore Miss Austen's close observation and musings on women's place in society to a standard romcon formula. The leads may be named Elizabeth and Darcy, but the whole is handled in a mechanical fashion. The writers have even tossed in puppies for cuteness; he is a dog show judge and she a dog handler.There are some fine performances involved in this mediocre film. France's Fisher as Mr. Darcy's aunt is an unadorned, snobbish piece of works -- without, alas, any of the humor typically brought to the role.In the end, my issue with this Hallmark TV romantic comedy is the same as with a lot of them. They may be romantic in the sense that the beautiful and virtuous young woman winds up with the handsome and virtuous young man; it's the lack of anything comic that bores me. If the standard Hallmark romcon model is what you're looking for, you'll be satisfied. As for me, like Miss Austen, I'll continue to hope for more than characters who fit neatly into their plotted slots.
