 Masterpiece Theatre - Mansfield Park December 2, 2008

I love the Jane Austen series done by Masterpiece Theatre. I've never seen any other version of Mansfield Park, so I don't have anything to compare. I just enjoy the 1800's English Setting and the romance.
GREAT December 1, 2008

I had just recently finished reading Manfield Park, by the great Jane Austen, when I started to look for film adaptions of it. When I came across this one, I read all the reviews (most of which were poor) and quickly went the other way. I first watched the 1999 version, it having better reviews, and I liked it quite a bit (aside from thinking "Where is William?"). But, still curious, I came back to this version, having always liked the adaptions this group put out, and was astounded that it could recieve such bad reviews. I loved it. Some things are missing, if you are considering the book to be the supposed script. But, I thought it flowed very well even with those pieces missing. If you enjoy the book, you will most likely enjoy this movie. It is not word for word in line with the book, but there are many key quotes that make their way onto this film adaption of Mansfield Park. I recommend it.

I am a big Jane Austin fan. I always like the books better than the movies. However this movie is true to the book and I enjoyed it very much.
 bad acting by everyone! October 4, 2008

I bought this movie in a pack of 3 so unfortunately can't even give it away as I definately would. What a waste of money this movie was. I fast forward most of it so can't really tell you everything but only that Billie Piper was so poor a choice for an actress. She dyed her hair blonde for the movie but unfortunately she has a deep undergrowth coming through. Umm, not sure if she knew that girls didn't really dye their hair in that era and that I am sure she would've been able to afford it even if they did. Without watching her hair roots everytime she was on camera, she and the rest of the cast gave off such a poor performance that you didn't care what happened. They must of had a small budget as the movie never leaves the estate.
