If a writer must write a load of garbage at least have the decency to use your own intellectual property and don't turn a classic piece of literature into some plagiarized pile of junk. Jane Austin must be turning in her grave! Everything from the character turning up with bare legs without so much as an ounce of concern from her family. To the characters loudmouth and uncouth approach to Mr Darcy at a dance is just pathetic. People in polite company would consider this girl an uncouth loudmouth even today in polite company. It's not clever or attractive to have someone impolitely storm up and gob off like gutter trash. Not well written or entertaining. One star is one too many for this trash.

I love any movie that Veronica Brown produces. I already knew I was going to love this movie because she was one of the masterminds behind it. I love her creative eye, storytelling ability and the flow of the character development. Absolutely love this movie! I thought it was a great testament to the story of Pride and Prejudice and Jane Austens work in general. The main character was relatable, funny and enjoyable to get lost in. The way the movie was started and finished was brilliant. I loved the way it all came together. Insightful and fulfilling. A really great way to tie it altogether. One of my favorite hallmarks for sure!

This is the third offering in Hallmark's Jane Austen inspired 2024 February Love-uary and it might be my favorite so far. It was unexpected and a delight. The story tells of Harriet (played by an honest to goodness Eliza Bennett!) a writer and librarian, whose wonderful boyfriend Ethan proposes to her in a very romantic way...to which she responds "maybe" because she has fantasies in her head about the fictional Mr. Darcy and how she thinks love is supposed to feel. After over imbibing, Harriet wakes up inside of the Pride and Prejudice story as the American cousin Harriet to the Bennett sisters. This is where the story gets interesting as Harriet with her prior knowledge of the plot...ends up interfering and turning the story on its ear, only to have regret and have to right the ship all over again. Needless to say the whole experience gives her new perspective on her real life. This was a fun twist to Pride and Prejudice that I had never seen before and I found it thoroughly delightful. I thought the main actress Liza Bennett did a wonderful job and I appreciated Hallmark's attempt at a historical set...enough so I can overlook the very modern front and back chain drop earrings worn by a Georgian era character. It was a bit of a surprise to see an actual British royal playing the role of "The Duchess". This is a big recommendation to both Jane Austen fans and romantics alike!

'' An American in Austen '' is a fantasy romantic comedy that sends our american Austen lover author in one of Austen's most famous works. The movie is pretty enjoyable, to the point that you often forget that its a Hallmark. It is well filmed, has plenty of funny moments, it's light, it's romantic, and it has a nice enough ending that is both satisfying and happy. Also, our main lead didn't get annoying and she was actually really sweet. The side characters did a great job as well. In addition, the fantasy element was well handled. So, overlal, six out of ten for '' An American in Austen ''.

Out of all the Jane Austen Hallmarks (2024), this one has impressed me the most. Harriet is a struggling writer with a supporting boyfriend that loves her deeply. Despite their short on screen time, their chemistry is unquestionable and is more enjoyable than most couples in recent Hallmark feature films. Harriet, after a series of events, finds herself in the story of Pride & Prejudice living out the plot of the book as the American cousin of the Bennett girls. Her involvement in their story brings many twists and turns, especially since she knows the story. The humour in the movie is clever and current, with the lead actress being an absolute star in the movie. She delivers an outstanding performance that sells Harriet wonderfully. By the end, you're rooting for her and her quirkiness. Moreover, the set and costume of this film is OUTSTANDING. Undeniably, one of the best dressed Hallmarks I've seen in a long time. They captured the time and location wonderfully, as if you were watching a feature film of Pride & Prejudice. It made me wish I were booking a flight overseas to experience what I watched in the movie. Overall, this Hallmark is a fun watch with an ending that is different by Hallmarks standards. Even if you're not too familiar with Jane Austin's work, this movie does a great job with capturing the emotion, comedy and romance of some of the best.

8.2 stars. If you are hopelessly stricken by Austen's works, tread carefully into this story, as it may be offensive to your dogmatic senses and sensibilities. This is the tale of a female author who is currently struggling with writer's block. She is well versed in old English literature and other similar works. There is much going on in her life, a boyfriend who wants more, a publisher who demands her best, and her personal life is cluttered with too many things. She makes a wish and we are taken back in time, into a book within a book, which eventually lands into yet a third. Once again, Hallmark hits a home run. I find they are producing some very entertaining period pieces; almost defining for our times what a family friendly historical fiction film should be. Hollywood, take some lessons about 19th century English (family values oriented) comedy/drama from 'An American in Austen'. I do fewer reviews these days, I've moved on after 800+. I feel for me it's better to rate a movie and get on with my day. But when I happen upon a remarkable film as this, I have to share my thoughts. What jumps out immediately is the lead female/protagonist does not fit in with any of the characters from 'Pride and Prejudice', to whence she has been transported back in time. I feel this is a brilliantly clever rendition of a woman out of place and time. And, she very much seems 200 years out of place. Her mannerisms, colloquialisms, language, metaphors, and slang are so painfully untimely and vulgar. Yet, her character is so well versed in Victorian era knowledge due to her literature background, that she is able to navigate her way through with limited difficulty (conveniently explained by her being swept into the narrative as an American cousin of the family). The script is amazingly clever and to augment it, the acting is equally as superb. Her character is emboldened with 21st century sarcasm and wit, refreshingly matched step by step by the intellect and savvy of the characters from the novel that she has found herself living in. She has wished to have a Mr. Darcy of her own, and her wish is granted. Of course, she is completely out of her element. What a great theme for a wonderful story...brilliant, luminous, splendid!

Librarian Harriet Goodson (Eliza Bennett) is struggling to write her first novel. Her boyfriend makes the big proposal and she can only respond with Maybe. Her favorite book is Pride and Prejudice. She wakes up magically inside the book as an American cousin and meets her fantasy crush Mr. Darcy (Nicholas Bishop). Eliza Bennett is a lovely actress and she plays a good fish out of water. It is a little funny that the British actress is playing an American in this British classic. Heck, her name is Eliza Bennett. It's very meta. The Hallmark production looks rather TV movie level despite the grand locations. It could be better. The story is a fun and often-done concept. More could be used for comedy. Maybe she doesn't like the food or the makeup is bad. They do the corset and the carriage rides. Those are a little funny. This just needs to push for more humor. The Bennet sisters are really only characters in a book. They don't have the latitude to be real people. It's all up to Harriet. I want her to run around and struggling in this old timey society to get things right.

First of all, I liked the message in this about an American Pride and Prejudice fan realizing her idealizing of Darcy when comparing him to real men. However, I can't help but compare this movie to the BBC miniseries Lost in Austen (or LiA) which also has a modern girl protagonist drop into the plot of Pride and Prejudice and the story goes off the rails. In both, because the characters end up "off book" the traditional P&P characters have to react to these plot changes. For me, how Darcy and Lizzie behaved and reacted just did not match up with their book characters. Especially with Darcy, I didn't buy that he would have immediately fallen for Harriet and expressed it as forthcoming as he did and be so moony over her. In LiA, its Mr Darcy also falls for the modern protagonist, Amanda (spoiler: they end up together at the end) who in this swapped places with Lizzie. Mr Darcy's first reactions to Amanda is disgust at her rudeness, impropriety, and outspokenness. Essentially, their relationship mirrors Darcy and Lizzie's in the book, enemies to lovers and this Darcy's reactions to the changes in P&P's plot felt way more authentic to Darcy's character than how this Darcy reacted to Harriet. I do like the Lydia did not run off with Wickham in this one (YAY). AND this was the least annoyed I was with Mrs. Bennet even though she didn't feel right either. Overall, An American in Austen was fine with a good message but the characterizations of Austen's characters were lacking.
