    charming unrealism

    Dogs, "Pride and prejudice", lovely predactibility, good looking lead actors, good actresses in secondary roles , air of soap opera. And the rich man versus a version of Cinderella. So, unrealism in pure form. But a charming one.

    If you want to yell at the TV, this is the movie for you

    I am kind of Hallmark Channel aficionado (also stayed at a Holiday Inn express) so I know the formula. No oscars will be won, but some are heartwarming, touching, funny or just crazy...but this one...wow (not in the cute meet wow sense) First, I don't get the attraction between them...but then there is this sister, and she is beyond clueless....🙄 I screamed at the TV in frustration because of what she kept doing to the main character...if she is supposed to be Jane from the book...oh vey...anyway, ya'll know the book, you can imagine the story line...it's your two hours

    SYRUPY SWEET

    I really did enjoy the movie. It was so cute. However it was extremely unrealistic and totally unbelievable. Guys who are wealthy and over-the-top handsome are nowhere as sincere and compassionate as Donovan Darcy was. I am sure that a teenage girl in love would enjoy the series of the Darcy movies. Cute and adorable.

    A Good Decent film

    I thought this was a good film and the dogs were SOOO CUTE. However, I felt that Elizabeth was being rather unfair, especially how she was treating the titular character, Mr. Darcy throughout most of the film. It's pretty obvious she judged him and didn't really give him a change as it was a real gentlemen throughout the film. Despite that however, I thought this was a good film with a lot of elegance. Plus it's always interesting to watch a new couple come along as every relationship and love story is different. Plus I love Donovan's sister.

    This will make you cringe

    I am not sure whether knowing the novel will be a hindrance or a help, meeting Mr Bingley will definitely throw you, as will some of the other names, but for lovers of the BBC adaptation, they have Mr Darcy exiting the water. One thing I realise reviewing this piece is the importance or Mr & Mrs Bennett or in this version Scott, they are integral to the story. Watchable, but only just.

    • Trivia
      Although officially based on the novel of the same name by Teri Wilson, it can also be seen as a modern day version of Pride and Prejudice, as the novel is itself based on Jane Austen's classic. While certainly not a straight adaptation, several characters share names and traits and numerous parallels can be drawn between the plot points and relationships in the two works.
    • Goofs
      While it is very hard to work with (or even find to work with) really small puppies, the puppies in this movie were definitely beyond "new litter" as they were clearly months old.
