I had just recently finished reading Manfield Park, by the great Jane Austen, when I started to look for film adaptions of it. But, still curious, I came back to this version, having always liked the adaptions this group put out, and was astounded that it could recieve such bad reviews. I recommend it. I loved it. I first watched the 1999 version, it having better reviews, and I liked it quite a bit (aside from thinking "Where is William.").
If you enjoy the book, you will most likely enjoy this movie. When I came across this one, I read all the reviews (most of which were poor) and quickly went the other way. Some things are missing, if you are considering the book to be the supposed script. But, I thought it flowed very well even with those pieces missing. It is not word for word in line with the book, but there are many key quotes that make their way onto this film adaption of Mansfield Park.

Without watching her hair roots everytime she was on camera, she and the rest of the cast gave off such a poor performance that you didn't care what happened. I fast forward most of it so can't really tell you everything but only that Billie Piper was so poor a choice for an actress. I bought this movie in a pack of 3 so unfortunately can't even give it away as I definately would. What a waste of money this movie was. She dyed her hair blonde for the movie but unfortunately she has a deep undergrowth coming through. Umm, not sure if she knew that girls didn't really dye their hair in that era and that I am sure she would've been able to afford it even if they did. They must of had a small budget as the movie never leaves the estate.
