Product Reviews
 (5 stars) - MUST HAVE for any Austen Fan!
This movie isn't for anyone with bad lungs, because I nearly died laughing while watching this movie! It really takes the spirit and the feel of all the other Austen movies and does what any fan has ever wanted to do and puts you in the story. If your a die-hard that is worried about people messing with the book, don't worry, you can really tell as you watch this movie that the cast and crew are also fans and they have treated the original story with respect and love. I love this movie so much and it will leave you cracking up hours after it's over!
(5 stars) - Fancy meeting you here.....
There's nothing deep or literary about Lost in Austen. It's a time travel tale that incorporates all the standard glitches, as 21st century Amanda tries to navigate her way around the style and conventions of the 19th century. Because she curls up with Austen every time she feels stressed, Amanda knows what should be happening in this strange new (old) world, but somehow, the characters simply won't behave as planned.
If not taken too seriously, this foray into Pride and Prejudice is delightful. It's genuinely entertaining to watch well known and loved characters adopt wills of their own. Jemima Rooper as Amanda is spot on, as she struggles to speak and conduct herself in accordance with Regency mores. Elliot Cowan makes a fine Mr. Darcy, although at times he seems to be channeling Heathcliff instead, and Tom Mison as Mr. Bingley threatens to upstage Darcy at several points. Supporting cast members are equally true to form. The scenery is stunning, and costumes reflect proper period detail, despite their rather muted colors.
Lost in Austen is a sweet, frothy romance that pays tribute to the original while providing a throughly modern twist. A pleasant way to while away a rainy afternoon.
(5 stars) - Great Movie!
I love this movie because it's like someone said "hey we all love Jane Austin but lets mix it up a little bit, create a little choas". As long as this movie is I can't ever just watch part of it, I have to watch the whole thing. The characters are much more exaggerated than the original films, which is actually a lot of fun. For a being a remake with a twist this is actually a really fun movie to watch.
(5 stars) - So good!
I love all of Jane Austen's works and have seen many of the film adaptations. My favorite though has to be BBC's Pride and Prejudice Miniseries with Colin Firth. Anyway, this movie is hilarious. Their vision of Wickham is so funny and different. I wasn't the biggest fan of the ending at first, but now that I've seen it a few times, I think differently.
But this is a definite watch just because it's a new way to see the movie.
(5 stars) - Fun
I was not dissapointed in this DVD. It added more to an already great movie. Give it a try!
