Jane Austen discussion

A modern update of Pride and Prejudice called Unleashing Mr. Darcy (based on the book by Teri Wilson) will air on Hallmark Channel on Saturday January 23, 2016 at 9:00 PM.

Not even close to being Jane Austen but a harmless bit of fluff for a diversion. I liked Donovan Darcy better than Lizzie. He wasn't deliberately being rude to her and she just kept misjudging him over and over. The dogs are adorable and it's worth watching the final scene. Bliss looks straight at the camera with her big, liquid black eyes. This movie sure made me want a puppy.

I watched this too. Not a stringent modernizing of P and P but still a cute rom-com. Frances Fisher was great and mean as the Lady Catherine character and the guy playing Darcy was HOT.

Aw wish i saw this post earlier! I won that book a while back, would have liked to see what they did with it

Cut out the steamy bits and watered it down. They changed the setting to New York but otherwise the plot was mostly the same. It might reair on be online on Hallmark channel's website. The dogs are the best part.

Thank you Poohbear ill check the website! I wasn't a huge fan of the book but I would like to check out the movie. I saw some pics and Lizzie is definitely not the way I pictured her but that seems to happen all the time lol
