Interesteg What makes it different from others?

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

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.

dlmoore007 I'm not, by any means, a Jane Austen "purest" but I thoroughly enjoyed this adaptation. THOROUGHLY.And I'll tell you why:First off, the dialog was top notch--Amanda's sliding into the dialect slowly was delightful! I have watched "Sense and Sensibility" and "Pride and Prejudiced" many many times (and no, I don't have 37 cats, okay?). I am not, what I would consider, a Jane Austen "fan" but I do enjoy a good story.Like Amanda, I believe there are people that long for a time when the Golden Rule and manners mattered. I found this adaptation to be quite delightful and have added it to my repertoire of things to watch when I've pretty much given up on humanity.Also like to add that the costumes were far more believable than the other "Austen" inspired movies--the one with Keira Knitghley (they didn't HAVE "calico" print in those days. Seriously. Hire a HISTORIAN before you do a movie, sheesh!) sorry, but the mass printing of fabric may have been invented, but it was extremely expensive and the girls in the Knightly version were wearing this wonderful calico prints to CLEAN THE HOUSE???? Did not happen. And I was impressed with the production, the historic context and yeah, the acting. I laughed when I was supposed to laugh (chalk and twigs to brush your teeth? Seriously??? LOL!). And the fact that one of the first things Amanda did when she got back to "civilization" was brush her teeth! Loved it!I'm not going to apologize for really loving this film and as far as I'm concerned, this was a "10."Favorite lines:Michael: "Darcy's some ponce in a book. A toger-twitching nancy boy'"Darcy: "What is this curious person? The village idiot?" (OMG, lol).e Amanda to Wickham: "You hear that sound,George? It's Jane Austen spinning in her grave like a cat in a tumble dryer!"And my personal favorite:Bickley (to Darcy): "Damn you. Damn you and everyone that won't put a light in his window and and stay up all night damning you!" Pure delightful escapism! If I could rate it higher than a "10" I would! Bravo!

eor_1994 I found Lost in Austen just terrible. It made a mockery of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, which is one of my favorite books. I truly believe Jane would cry tears of anguish if she watched this. Any true fan of Jane Austen would absolutely HATE this mini series!!! If I had not read the book or watched the movie I probably would have liked it but that is not the case. I apologize if you feel differently but I just had to share my opinion. I had such high hopes for this mini series but was sadly disappointed. I don't want others to make the same mistake I did in watching this. But if you have not read Pride and Prejudice or you did not like it for some reason then you may like this.

Kaudi08 Like so many others walking the earth; I am a Jane Austen fan. And like so many others; I have my favorites; of both the stories themselves, as well as the movies in which our film makers try to capture Ms. Austen's brilliance. And let's be honest, we can get a bit critical when it comes to the works of Ms. Austen; as we fans like to protect her. We are not always kind to the people behind (as well as those who are in front of) of the movie cameras.Well, I had the fortune of stumbling across this 'Lost in Austen' mini-series just last week and I truly enjoyed it. I think the concept is fantastic and fun as we watch how things get altered on the arrival of Ms. Price; and what she has to do in order to get our beloved 'Pride and Prejudice' back on track! Not an easy task. But ahhhh, when it is all said and done, to remain behind, in the arms of Darcy...tell me - who hasn't dreamt of that?! I can only hope that more 'Lost is Austen' programs are in the making and headed our way!
