This movie was an all-time worst adaptation of a superb Jane Austen novel. The introduction of some scenes of nudity and sexual degradation were totally out of place with the original plotline. The storyline was distorted into a political commentary on... Full review

As a romantic comedy, this is a good film. The acting is fairly good - particularly Johnny Lee Miller, who makes an excellent Edmund. But the story is not that of Jane Austen's wonderful novel. The Fanny Price of the... Full review

Mansfield Park is the ideal film to take your maiden aunt
It's the language which is beautiful and Mansfield Park has it to spare.

Those who enjoyed the other recent Austen movies will probably like this one very much indeed....Share A tempest has raged around the new film Mansfield Park for months.....There will even be some, for whom the other versions are too precious, who may like Mansfield Park best of all.....Austen, one of the English language's most enduring and beloved writers, has a large and faithful following.....Besides, almost all the films have taken some liberties to make the very literary books more screen-friendly.... ...

An area where "Mansfield Park" the movie has more success than the novel is in one of the book's pivotal situations, the suddenly serious infatuation flirtatious Henry develops for Fanny.
But though it's never dull, this "Mansfield Park" has too much of its own agenda and too little of Austen's to completely succeed.

Mansfield Park" is rated PG-13 for simulated drug use (opium), glimpses of nude artwork, a handful of profanities, some crude slang and use of racial epithets.
Australian actress Frances O'Connor stars as Fanny Price, a poor girl who is sent to live with her wealthy relatives in Mansfield Park.

Like its wonderful central character, ``Mansfield Park'' is a full, rich experience.
Lush in look and mindful of the less-than-appetizing realities of English life 200 years ago (including vermin, drafty places, mud and the repulsive business of slavery), ``Mansfield Park'' introduces an amazing actress, Australian Frances O'Connor, in a stunning starring role.
