{ Pride & Prejudice a.k.a. Lost In Austen }

I found out about this movie from my Sis-in-law Lisa, she loved it and knew I would.
She was right, I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED.
If you're a Pride & Prejudice junkie like me then I'm pretty sure you will love this version as well. For those who haven't watched it here's a brief rundown:


Amanda Price is sick of the modern world. She yearns for the romance and elegance found in the books by her favorite author, Jane Austen. But she's about to get a rude awakening as one fateful evening, she is propelled into the scheming 19th century world of Pride and Prejudice while that book's Elizabeth Bennet is hurled into hers. As the book's familiar plot unfolds, Amanda triggers new romantic twists and turns within the Bennet family circle as she clumsily tries to help the sisters nab husbands and even captivates the tantalizing Mr. Darcy herself. But what about Elizabeth...and what will become of one of the world's greatest love stories?

I so loved how this movie was written. I ♥ the humor they used, the actors were fantastic. I even loved that it was almost 3 hrs long.
I would have to give Lost In Austen a big THUMBS UP!

I had to rent my movie from Netflix as our local Blockbuster had never even heard of it. I feel an Amazon purchase coming on. :)

Now go forth and RENT!

  5. Thank you -- I may just ask for a copy for Christmas and not even worry about trying to rent it (or I might do both).

  6. You know a good movie selection is worth some much more than a magazine or a tv show. Especially when it is from a friend.
    Thanks. Not too sure where I am going to find it, but I will have to try.
    I am jealous of your yard sale finds!! That mirror and radio-oh my heart be still!!!
    I can't wait to see what you do with it. I am also jealous of the rick rack. Can one ever have enough? I think not!

    Come over and see what I did to my crap-I mean craft room!

  19. I watched it a few months ago and just LOVED it...wished it was a few hours longer! When she made Mr. Darcy get in the water I could not stop laughing!!! I was also a big fan of Mr. Wickham - interesting little twist. And Mr. Collins - completely hideous!!!
