Lost In Austen - 2008 - 7/10

Warning! Chick Flick Alert!
Loving homage to Pride And Prejudice.
Passionate Austen reader, Amanda Price, somehow enters the alternate literary universe and switches places with character Elizabeth Bennett.
Miss Price, knows the characters and knows the narrative, so she tries to help the plot with unexpected consequences.
Next, she tries to repair her mistakes and further compounds the disasters.
This film (mini series, actually) was devised with heart and invention.
It was released two years after the Keira Knightley version of P & P, which I loathed (vamped the plot for ADD types).

Note: Seek out the UK version. Versions in other countries are missing Amanda’s ringtone, which was an in-joke, as well as the “Downtown” scene.
