Unleashing Mr. Darcy Storyline

In this modern day spin on “Pride and Prejudice,” Elizabeth Scott is fishing for direction in her life and gets the opportunity to professionally show her Cavalier King Charles Spaniel in a fancy New York dog show. Dog show judge Donovan Darcy comes across as aristocratic and rude and a chain of misunderstandings unfold during the competition, complicating their mutual attraction. In true Jane Austen fashion, Elizabeth and Donovan begin to see the error of their ways and it turns out Mr. Darcy is far more kind and interesting than Elizabeth ever imagined.

Unleashing Mr. Darcy Movie Reviews

Watchable cast but the P&P plot wears a bit thin

A school teacher meets her Mr Darcy while entering a dog in a dog show. He’s a wealthy standoffish dog show judge. The cast and the animals are cute. For fans of ‘Pride and Prejudice’, there are enough plot elements from the classic novel wound into this story. He’s standoffish but it’s revealed he is good inside etc. After a while it’s like enough already! Just get on with it.

Cindy Busby plays an unlikeable character in “Cedar Cove”. It’s nice to see her play some one likable instead. She doesn’t play it too cute which can often happen in some Hallmark movies. She is quite nicely paired with Ryan Paevey as Mr Darcy. Frances Fisher plays a disapproving aunt – kind of similar to her Titanic role.

Worth one watch.

Lots of flaws

1-Ridiculous accusations against teacher carried to ridiculous extremes 2-Ridiculous flaunting of conflicts of interest 3-Terrible acting by several, most notably by Courtney Richter. Cindy Busy wasn’t that good either. 4-Lack of chemistry between the leads combined with too little screen time together, especially lack of positive screen time.. 5-Overexagerated rudeness by Elizabeth to Darcy and Violet to Elizabeth 6-Unattractive wimpiness by Elizabeth 7-Even the final confrontation lacked conviction 8-A letter??? (you’ll know what I mean when you see it)

P&P

Elizabeth Scott (Cindy Busby) is a beloved teacher at a prestigious private school. She gets fired and threatened with a lawsuit when she refused to accept a bribe from Grant Markham, a parent of one of her failing students. When she participates in a dog show, she is smitten and frustrated with the seemingly arrogant judge Donovan Darcy (Ryan Paevey).

This Hallmark romance is trying to adapt Pride and Prejudice into the modern world. There are themes in the classic novel that are nearly impossible to adapt into modern America. The central need for wealth and English class system are not easily transferred. In order to make wealth an issue, there needs to be an uber wealth involved which is hard to make on a Hallmark budget. The premise’s difficulty needs an inventive solution which I do not have. I do like Busby’s huffy annoyance. Paevey is rather stiff but that’s ok for Darcy. One hopes for greater charisma but at least, he looks great. At the end of the day, I like their combative relationship and her frustration with him. I like the couple and that’s enough for a pass.
