Product Description

Description

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?

On the DVD

5.0 out of 5 stars Lucky to be Lost in Austen, Mar 7 2009

By	Madison J. Martin "FallaDeAngelique" (Kamloops, BC Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

For all Jane Austen lovers here is a fresh take on an old favourite, some traditionalist's may not fall in love with this younger adaptation, but Lost in Austen will win you with it's wit, creativity and new depth. When worlds clash we meet Elizabeth Bennet who's dying to escape the pages of pride and prejudice and in her place we find our new herione. She's not quite so heroic, she's actually quite unintentionally meddlesome. However if not for her meddling we would not get see yet another dashing darcy pond scene, witness a truer side to our villainous Wickham, and perhaps best of all renew our passion for a good romance.
Cheers and Enjoy!

4.0 out of 5 stars Pure Wish Fulfilment, May 29 2009

By	Catwoman (Yukon, Canada) - See all my reviews

Lost In Austen uses Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice and the familiar characters as a starting point for telling its own delightfully fun story. But be warned - that is where the similarity to Jane Austen's story ends.

Imagine yourself, an expert on the complex characters and intricate twists and turns contained within the pages of the novel, suddenly swapping places with Elizabeth Bennett. *You* are now a character within the novel while she is living the life of a modern woman in the "real" world. What would you do? Lost In Austen tells the story of one such woman who finds herself suddenly set among the fictitious characters in her all-time favourite love story, sans Elizabeth Bennett, and the hilarious misadventures that follow as she tries to get the remaining characters in the story to do what they're "supposed to" do.

The series's charm comes not only from the delightfully fun story and clever dialogue, but also from being able to imagine yourself opening the door to that unique world, and having a chance at capturing the heart of one of the most dashing male characters of all time! It's pure wish fulfilment!

4.0 out of 5 stars Lost in Austen-For Ladies Night, May 27 2009

By	J.B.Wolf - See all my reviews

I thoroughly enjoyed this adaptation of Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice". The twenty-first century characters were realistically unrefined and sarcastic, which made them all the more relatable. I appreciated that they also took the time to punctuate that although lovely, Austen-Era England had many deficiencies in comparison to today's standard of living.
As visually enticing as this mini-series was, I recommend more than one viewing, as there is a great deal of pithy dialogue that goes unnoticed the first time around.
Word to the wise, ladies watch this with a group of girlfriends...with no possibility of your husband walking in, unexpectedly. Trust me, you won't be able to enjoy the film over the snarky comments and eye rolling. Enjoy!

I too was excited about the idea of a modern day girl entering the world of Jane Austen's novels. Wouldn't we all want to be able to do that and rub elbows with Mr Darcy... Read more
