lost in austen

 
i just happened to be glancing through my local libraries DVD selection and came across this GEM! if you are a "pride and prejudice" fan this is a must see!
 
a modern day woman "amanda price" switches spots with elizabeth bennett and finds herself falling in love with fitzwilliam darcy (who wouldn't?)
 
just when i thought no one could top colin firth as darcy, along comes Matthew Macfadyen, and then comes elliott cowan. so dreamy!
 

they even reinact the wet shirt scene of colin firth fame. this is delightful and soon to be a hollywood movie supposedly directed by sam mendes. check it out!
