Wonderful contemporary version of Persuasion. The story is very interesting. Although it borrows a lot of elements from the original Persuasion, it has many novel plot twists. The actors are excellent and very funny. The idea is that true love doesn't fade easily and if someone wants to be with their loved one, they will make it clear. Sometimes it's safer to play games and not reveal your true feelings but only being truthful wins in love. Another idea is that in matters of personal decisions and love, it is best to listen to your heart and disregard the advice of parents, relatives and friends, if you would like to be happy. Lastly, that true love always wins. It's great to work with friendly and supportive colleagues who can even become your friends. I liked that the movie is set in New York city and the actors have nice outfits.

Since I haven't read that Austen book, I can't comment on how closely related is to the source material. But I will say aside from the usual conflicts that you'd expect from a Hallmarkesque movie. It is a whole convoluted mess, but an enjoyable, laughable convoluted mess. The characters themselves definitely represent the current masses due to modern resources. But that doesn't distract from the undertones of how social media can shape and form our lives, as well as how family can be such an influence on your own views as a individual. Wren, the heroine of the movie was definitely on the merry-go-round of life circling three men, having a connection with all three of them. But who to choose? The ex, the newbie, or the set-up? Definitely give it a shot but while I say this, it doesn't mean this is a masterpiece. It's not but it is quite funny at times.

There's very little that's good about this movie, but the worst are the protagonists. No chemistry, no charm, nothing. The actress playing the lead honestly made me cringe. Even teenagers in school plays can act better. She seemed plastic, childish, clumsy (that way of dancing and walking) and just generally bad. Not a sign of the strong lead that Jane Austen wrote. Don't lose two hours of your time watching.

My guilty pleasure in a world full of polarization and hardship and amongst TV shows that seem to use sexual violence as a scene filler when they get bored, is a good dumb Hallmark-esque movie - light, breezy, idealistic, predictable, very mild peril. I stumbled upon this on a streaming service because I noticed Alicia Witt (an absolute stalwart of these type of films, along with Candace Cameron Bure) and popped it on immediately. I think this film has hamstrung itself by using the Jane Austen title - it is clearly attracting viewers who are expecting something very different from what the Hallmark formula would ever be able to provide - there's a particular pace to the scenes and level of simplicity (no shade, that I love!) to the acting and characters, and I was DELIGHTED to see Bebe Neuworth and Liza Lapira having fun in the low stress, 87 minute piece of TV movie cotton candy. Please skip it if you're hoping for a faithful reboot, think of this more as a Clueless to an Emma (including idiosyncratic contemporary ways of speaking that will grate on some viewers that don't seem to realise a) language evolves and b) each generation has pushed the boundaries on what the previous generation found to be acceptable) but with a much much lower budget and Hallmark romcom standard production - which is that's your thing (and it clearly is a lot of people's go to comfort TV because even as someone without any cable services in the UK I can always find a new one to watch somewhere) this is a fantastic example of the genre, which some bigger hitter sitcom/dramedy actors on the cast than usual. Overall, I love it, and I might even watch it again before I switch to Christmas themed Hallmark/Lifetime films after Halloween.

Honestly, I don't usually write reviews but this deserved one. Wow! What was that?! Listen, I am a sucker for Rom Coms and Jane Austen adaptations but this was something else. I don't even know what was worse from everyone talking in hashtags to the exaggerated British accent to the atrocious dancing in the club. Also there was zero chemistry between the two leads. Yeah this should have never seen the light of day.

This movie should have never been made awful all the acting and story is awful Alicia Witt is such a terrible actress why do they keep casting her? Tv must be desperate for movies.

Forget this is Jane Austen & see this movie on its own. The script is witty with fast paced one liners. The negative reviews are undoubtedly from those who couldn't keep up with the sophisticated humor or expected strict adherence to Austen. The characters are wickedly crafted within the first few minutes. The only nod to Austen is the story concept. If people reviewed the movie on its own merit much would be said about the dialogue, character building & genuine fun. It's a shame such a unique, entertaining, romantic comedy suffers poor reviews simply because of a book it's loosely based on.
