Pride, Prejudice and Mistletoe Storyline

Darcy Fitzwilliam, a successful partner at her own Wall Street investment firm of Avery, Carson and Fitzwilliam (ACF), decided on this path instead of working for her father Edward Fitzwilliam’s firm back in her hometown of Pemberley, Ohio to prove to the world that she could make it on her own. Despite her success, she feels unsettled in her life, which is why she recently broke up with Carl Downs, who heads Edward’s New York office, and is heading back home to Pemberley this Christmas season for the first time in three years so that she can escape Carl and work if only for a little while, while she helps her mother Gloria Fitzwilliam organize the Pemberley League Annual Auction to be held the next week, a fundraiser for the Pemberley Youth Center. Darcy discovers that she can’t leave either Carl or work behind as Edward and Carl have some meetings in Pemberley during Darcy’s stay, and she learns of some work turmoil initiated by another partner Austin Avery, who sees the firm moving in a direction different than Darcy. Things get worse for Darcy on this trip when she is forced to spend time with her high-school rival Luke Bennett as she learns that her best friend Caylee is now in a serious relationship with Luke’s older brother Jim, and that Gloria hired Luke, who has recently opened his own restaurant, to cater the fundraiser, but also to provide an extra pair of hands with any assistance Darcy requires. Like Darcy, Luke is trying to make his mark in life in making the restaurant his own while needing business and/or investors to make it a success. While Darcy and Luke’s time on the high-school debate team migrated off the debate stage to everything in their lives at the time, they find that they are still butting heads in differences of opinions in working together on the fundraiser, especially as they have to put out one unexpected fire after another. Through it all, Darcy might be able to clear her head about life itself, including where Carl and ACF fit if at all, especially as there might be a reason–in the form of Luke–to stay in Pemberley.—Huggo

Pride, Prejudice and Mistletoe Movie Reviews

Nothing to do with Jane Austen Novel.

Not clever, not cute, not interesting. I can’t imagine why this movie was made. Besides the character names, the plot has zero to do with the oft used (A la Bridget Jones Diary, etc.) Pride and Prejudice plot. The characters have zero chemistry, the plot is just really, really boring, there is no drama, suspense or surprise. This uses every corny & over used plot device ever created – and it doesn’t even do them better. It’s just God awful, even for a Hallmark movie.

Pride and Prejudice and a Very Boring Movie

Lacey Chabert is at it again kicking off the Hallmark romantic holiday movie season and despite her best efforts, she drowns in this bomb.

This movie lacks originality, interesting characters, a magical Santa character, and a plot. Because it literally has the same plot as every other Hallmark holiday movie, it is EXTREMELY boring to watch. The only thing that keeps this movie moving forward is the Mom, who is too dumb to realize what is going on around her so she just makes blanket declarations of directions to everyone else who don’t do much more than default to awkward conversations and fake laughing.

“Luke” is the love interest and we are told he used to fight with Darcy and they did not get along back in their days on the debate team – seems fair enough. Except when we meet Luke he is about exciting as an old cat and makes zero impression that he is at odds with Darcy. In fact, he comes across as affable, friendly, and the total opposite of what was implied about his personality. After their first meeting Darcy declares that “nothing has changed” about Luke – yet we as the audience see the complete opposite and this undermines the entire movie.

Let’s see how many cliche plot points this one can rack up: Female lead lives in Big City and her family lives in small town – check. Female lead has a “stressful business job” that she does not appear qualified for in any way what so ever – check. Female lead goes home for the holidays – check. Female lead’s lame ex-boyfriend wants to get back together – check. Female lead runs into old love interest – check. All men in the movie are wimpy beta males – check. Upper Middle Class white collar female lead falls in love with small business owner – check. Somebody owns a small business – check. Dad is a prophetic wise old man who gives obvious advice – check. Some sort of big festival/ball/event is the climax – check. Everyone likes to sit and talk around a big empty kitchen table with a giant cup of coffee/tea/cocoa – check. Female lead does not get back together with ex-boyfriend – check. Female lead falls in love with past love interest – check. Female lead has a friend/sister/niece who gives good advice that is often ignored – check. Female lead and love interest kiss with only three minutes left on the DVR – check. Multiple plot holes, unanswered questions, and touched upon but not explained situations are not addressed in final three minutes after the kiss – check.

I truly cannot understand how/why Hallmark decided to kickoff their entire season with this hot mess. A film that is nothing but the most banal and over-used plot lines all mashed together…really Hallmark?

The stupidest line in the movie is when wimpy bashful Luke says “My phone has a camera!” Wow Luke. That was deep.

The only original element to this entire movie is the whole investment banking/finance career for our female lead Darcy. Trouble is, she does not come across as someone who knows anything two ways from Sunday about finance, banking, or demonstrating professional corporate confidence. But, since this is the first Hallmark movie to feature an investment banker female lead, I give this two stars. I give them that credit. Honestly, the stern “client” guy who comes across as a far more likely investment banker had more romantic chemistry with Darcy than Luke. It just didn’t make any sense though how a successful business guy like that needed the services of a young, naive Darcy who seems a much better suited for a career as a Customer Service Representative. How much more could she possibly know about finance and investing than the client guy?

Speaking of business, the Dad dresses well, sits around his office and appears all “businesslike” but never really says anything to suggest he has a clue about running a business or finance. He seems more like a retired school teacher or something.

Overall this movie was a major disappointment. I hope the remaining 21 new movies for the 2018 season are better, surely nothing can be worse.

So Many Opportunities

I love Lacey as an actress in these movies. She brings spirit, animation, heart and relatability to these movies. I love Jane Austen as well and had such high hopes for this movie. There was just so little use of the Jane Austen story line used. I realize that this is based on a book that I have not read, but with so much opportunity from the original novel, how could it be ignored. “Unleashing Mr. Darcy” did a great job in using the material with a modern twist. I wanted to see real conflict between the leads. I like the idea of the reversal of the roles, but where was the pride and the prejudice. Darcy’s refusal to accept help just did not really get the pride concept across. The Fitzwilliam family could have been more snobby and Darcy could have been more superior in her attitude with Luke. Luke could have had an embarrassing family and could have stood up to Darcy in a way that woke her up. Where were the misunderstandings about each other and then realizing that they were both wrong as they got to know each other. It was all there for the picking. It was an easy, enjoyable movie that had the potential to be great. I know those scripts can happen again and will be excited to see them.
