Summary: Mansfield Park?
Comment: While the movie was entertaining...it just wasn't what Jane Austen wrote. Fanny Price was much more headstrong and outspoken in this version than in the book. She wasn't like any of the characters in any of Austen's books. I think I would have enjoyed this movie more if it wasn't called Mansfield Park. I couldn't help but comparing the two, and, thus, was disappointed. However, on it's own merit, it was an entertaining movie. By Austen standards, it just didn't make the mark.

Summary: Good movie
Comment: We enjoyed watching this version of Mansfield Park, but prefer another version starring Jemma Redgrave. Although all the actors were good in both, we found the one with Ms. Redgrave more entertaining. Would still recommend it regardless!

Summary: Needs a New Title
Comment: It is very dificult to review this film given that the title is "Mansfield Park". I think that the movie might be just fine and interesting on its own, but I feel like it robbed the plot outline and title from a classic Austen novel and then refused to honor it. For those of you who have never read the novel, go ahead and watch the movie as it is interesting and well acted.
If you have or are planning to read the novel, you whould not have anything to do with this film. It's not even close.

Summary: Mansfield Park
Comment: I love this updated video version of Jane Austen's Mansfield Park. It is easy to follow and great to watch. I had rented this from my library and dedcided this needed to be in my favorite dvd collection. I have seen the other versions(all are good)but just really liked this one.

Summary: The Best Film Version of Mansfield Park!
Comment: This is by far the best film version of Mansfield Park, and is a million times better than the saccharine version starring Billie Piper that has recently been shown on PBS. This is a far more skillfully executed, with the civilized zingers that are so prevalent in Jane Austen novels delivered with panache, instead of the clumsy woodiness so often seen in other productions of Austen. The sensual undertone of sexuality is much more believable than the chaste handling of other directors - I can't believe that the young people of any age tied up their hormones, regardless of the 'rules' of the day. In short, this is a magnificent version, and one which you will pass on to any friends to introduce them to the joy that is Jane Austen.
