Lost in Austen


I had heard of a British mini series of this same title last year. I tried but was unable to find the series in the USA. It turns out that they did make the series into a movie. Kind of long for a movie - about 3 hours. It went fast in my opinion. I have always like the Jane Austen books. I have read them all and usually stop to watch them when channel surfing. If you enjoy the book Pride and Prejudice, you should check out this movie.
This is a description of the movie I found. I don't think it will ruin the movie for anyone who hasn't seen it.
"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 is 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 tries to help the sisters nab husbands and even captivates the tantilizing Mr. Darcy herself. But what about Elizabeth...and what will become of one of the world's greatest love stories?"
