I thoroughly enjoyed watching Lost in Austen, which was originally a BBC miniseries. The main character, Amanda, is a modern woman who loves the book Pride and Prejudice. She ends up accidentally trading places with Elizabeth Bennett, the main character from the novel. Amanda is suddenly in the setting of her favorite story, trying desperately to ensure the plotline survives her entrance into it.
It's fantasy, and it's messing with an extraordinarily popular, classic author, and it could easily end up being irretrievably corny. But the casting, acting, and writing are all excellent, so instead of being cheesy, it's charming.
Next time you need a girl's night (by yourself or with friends), grab some chocolate and Lost in Austen. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Sweet. I will go add it to my NetFlix queue.
I got this movie from Netflix a few months ago. I enjoyed it. I've since recommended it to my Sister-in-Law, she's an Austen fan.
I did think this was very sweet, C-Beth - Definitely worth watching for Austen fans and modern girls alike!
Sorry I haven't been here in ages - Life and work got in the way... x
I really enjoyed that series. Even my husband liked it.
Quite agree that for anyone who likes Jane Austen they stand a good chance of liking this. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
