 lost in austen is brilliant! March 7, 2010
Dale Ammerman (Redding, California)
If you are a fan of Jane Austen (as, of course, I am) you will love this story of a modern day girl who magically switches places with Elizabeth Bennett in Pride & Prejudice.

This is a very cleverly written DVD for all Jane Austen lovers. My friends and I loved every minute of it.
Disorienting but Fun! February 28, 2010
C. Cooper (Maryland)
The key to enjoying this film is coming to it with an open mind, completely suspending disbelief, and enjoying the ride. It is Jane Austen, all mucked up in a delightful mess, and if you need everything put back in order, then quickly review the 2005 version with Keira Knightley as Elizabeth or the 1996 version with Colin Firth as Darcy after you watch this one. What works about this movie: the alternate universe, the suspense of whether Amanda will make things "right" in the end, the new spin on a few characters who do not turn out to be the same as they are in the book, the surprise ending, and the great casting. I also loved the view of the flip side, seeing Elizabeth Bennett (and eventually Darcy) in the 21st century. What didn't work: Amanda should have seemed like an alien life form to the Bennetts, and yet no one seemed to really notice she was stranger than someone simply from town (and it would have made for some interesting moments). If you are a stalwart P&P fan who cannot bear seeing the characters behave out of character, you may want to skip this one; otherwise, pull up a seat and enjoy the fun.

This is a great movie for Austen enthusiasts who, like me, just cannot get enough of Jane Austen. Watch it with an open mind and enjoy the ride!
