The plot is shallow, the dialogue is cringe-worthy, and the worst offense is Elizabeth's unbelievable portrayal of a beloved character. I tried my best to finish the movie, but my eyes were rolling so far back into my head that I couldn't see the screen.

Come on people... this is Hallmark... not Masterpiece Theater. It is what it is and although based on Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice, there should be NO comparison to the book or BBC series whatsoever. This is by far one of my more favorite Hallmark movies and I loved it. As with all Hallmark movies, the romance is a bit weak at best (need more kissing & groping - how could one keep their hands of Ryan Paevy). I hope they step it up a bit in the sequel, Marrying Mr Darcy, which will air on Hallmark Channel in June 2018. The lead character, Ryan Paevy (Donovan Darcy), is dishy and very easy on the eyes. If Hallmark did anything right with this show it is in casting a gorgeous hunk to play Mr Darcy. He is exactly who I picture now when I read Pride & Prejudice. Well done!

I am a sucker for Jane Austen re-imaginings. It may explain why I liked this movie so much even in face of the terrible reviews. There were definitely some weaknesses in plot. (Why didn't Elizabeth immediately go to the principle when the father of the failing athlete tried to bribe her?) Oooh, he was really evil! I also didn't understand the hostility of Elizabeth towards Donovan Darcy throughout most of the story. He was so adorable and nice! The main appeal of the movie for my were the two lead actors. they were both really appealing and attractive with some great chemistry. Frances Fisher, who played the Catherine de Bourgh character was very hiss-worthy, which always adds to the enjoyment. I did enjoy the secondary characters and the dogs as well.

Movie is cute, but, having shown dogs is the real world, the dog show scenes are very poorly written. NEVER would a handle and judge have the conversations in the ring as written in this movie.

Underwhelming at best. This remake of Pride and Prejudice goes to the dogs. Quite literally, the plot revolves around upper crust dog shows. The majority of the characters are just downright now likable. The highlight of the movie may very well be when the Darcy character exits the pool. Eye candy at best not so much a compelling movie. Skip it.

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)

With a title like that, I was expecting something British, quirky, funny and most importantly, with much better actors but what I got instead, was very poor acting all around that I had to switch off after fifteen minutes it really made you cringe. I got to wonder who the casting director was as this was wrong all the way through. I could almost forgive the pick for Mr Darcy as he was good looking but besides that, entire acting was too hammy for my taste as was the storyline. I could not believe this was made in 2016 as it is not believable in this time and age. The main character, Cindy Busby's acting in my opinion, was the worst. I have never seen her in anything and intend avoiding whatever she is in, sub par acting!!

Having read some of the reviews I felt that as a person that enjoys the simple things in life, I could add a comment or two. Perhaps I am not familiar with all of the literature re Pride and Prejudice, but I loved the movie and have watched it so many times I cannot give an accurate count. Of course Ryan Paevey is a humble and interesting person ... I would love to share his thoughts as in real life he loves the natural beauty of the earth, photography, and my hope is that he meets and marries a young lady like Cindy Busby. Cindy came across as a principled person who was did not run after "Donovan" but waited for him to see her inner beauty. I would love to have the opportunity to visit with Ryan and Cindy to form a true to life opinion. I feel that the parts they played in Unleashing Mr. Darcy gave an insight into who they are and the kind of people they are in real life. Ryan obviously loves children and puppies ... Cindy was very comfortable with her role as a sister and her love for animals was obvious. I am eager to purchase the disc for my TV.
