This movie has been on tv several times and I have found it to be watchable overall. Not a favorite but I actually left it on. Reading all the negative reviews, I must agree that Ryan Paevy well cast and Cindy Busby not so much. For me, I think her voice is the biggest turn off. The voice just diminishes any positive attributes she possesses and accentuates her complaining. Many reviewers faulted the writing which I think is very strong considering it is a Jane Austen interpretation. As a 72 year old female, I am embarrassed to admit that I only recently saw Pride & Prejudice (2005). Now, I can see that most of original characters are represented in this movie. I think adapting the relationships to modern dialogue quite an accomplishment. In the original, Lizzie was quite headstrong even to her detriment. I hope everyone will watch P&P (2005). My newest favorite movie. I have probably met my quota of word. Anyway, just a romantic story.

Who are these people giving high scores for this truly terrible movie? The slowest pace, the most awkward scenes, most boring and repetitive dialog. Agree with comment about low budget but I can enjoy low budget if there is anything redeeming about the story or the acting. Nothing redeeming here. Agree, even wardrobe ridiculous. GAF has a knack for taking a Hallmark type plot which is still watchable into something completely grotesque and uncomfortable. I had to FF several times. Even the final scene was screwed up with too many word. I was on the edge of my seat waiting for it to finally end.

This is second time around with this movie. I liked it better the first time. This time I am reminded of some very annoying things in the writing. Jessie Schram's character is just too flaky. Is she supposed to be writing a song or what? She is so starstruck by Duke, it's cringe worthy. How old is she supposed to be? Time is of the essence supposedly but she continues to casually waste time with casual distractions. The music and Niall Matter are the best parts. Looking back, it is pretty much a lot of disconnected scenes. I suppose I am just in a bad mood because I see here that I previously reviewed this movie. Probably taken away by the music first time around.
