 ok movie August 29, 2008
I purchased this because I like Jane Austin movies. It is a good movie. I was disappointed with the sexual content. It could have been much less - because of it there are several of my friends that I would not recommend this movie to.
 terrible August 23, 2008
I would have given this zero stars if I could. This is a travesty of Jane Austen - it has little to do with her and more to do with the inanities of the box office.
 Jane August 17, 2008
Jane Austen has always been one of my favorite authors. I feel that she provides a good picture of the society and manners of the period. I have read and reread her books and have viewed as many versions of the movies made about her books as I can. This is the best version of Mansfield Park I have seen. It is a fairly close to the book.
 Jane Austen Movie Fan - Not a moment too soon! :) August 11, 2008
I am a huge fan of Jane Austen films. If you are one who wants the book on film, this may not be for you. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and compare it to other Jane Austen contemporary films such as "Emma" with Gwenthyn Paltrow, "Pride and Prejudice" with Keira Knightley, and "Sense and Sensibility" with Emma Thompson. I proudly will add this to my DVD collection and recommended this movie to those who like the others I have mentioned. (If you have not seen the others - I recommend them too!). Enjoy for you will not see it a moment too soon! :)
Appalled; not a representation of the Austen novel July 4, 2008

I was appalled at this version of 'Mansfield Park,' inasmuch as it bears no real resemblance to the Austen book. (The Austen book is not a comedy; Fanny Price can be a frustrating heroine for a modern reader because she would never dream of "standing up for herself," such a concept would be unthinkable to a character like hers, which represents the ultimate victory of sheer goodness over the blandishments of personality, as represented by the opposing persona of Mary Crawford.) This film's presentation of Fanny Price seems rather to be the director's/writer's supposition of what Jane Austen herself might have been like, but it's not even a fair representation of the voice of the narrator. Filmmakers need far more insight into the premises, not merely of the 18th century in general, but more precisely of the Austen consciousness in particular, not overlooking what a profound place religion played in her heart, and that is what is needed in order to portray Mansfield Park the way it might have seemed to its creator. Of course, then it probaby wouldn't be nearly as popular. Remove the title to this film and it has some merit on its own in terms of crafting, but -- but--.
