Dog show judge Donovan Darcy comes across as aristocratic and rude and a chain of misunderstandings unfold during the competition, complicating their mutual attraction.

Oooh, those fashions and the movie has DOGS!!! EEK!! Can't wait!!
ReplyDeleteI really like this movie WHEN CAN I BUY THE DVD???
Delete"Unleashing Mr. Darcy" is available on DVD at Amazon- Click HERE!
DeleteNervous about this one since Ryan Paevey's acting on GH is subpar
ReplyDeleteLOL!!! I love seeing a fellow soap fan! Yay! :) And I'm cracking up because your thinking was my VERY FIRST thought when I saw him in the commercial/preview!!! He's horrible!! His line delivery is awful! I'm so mad that he's the lead in this! And I know everyone thinks he's hot, but he doesn't do anything for me. Bleh...
DeleteI think Brennan Elliott or even Corey Sevier would have been great. What do you think. I also watch GH LOL
DeleteI think they should've gotten Michael Easton!! LOL. I would've been okay with Corey Sevier playing the part...I like him and he's cute. I also like Warren Christie, Antonio Cupo, and Damon Runyan, to name a few, and think they would've been good in the part. And seriously, it's been forever since Warren Christie has done a Hallmark movie! I miss him!
DeletePaevey does nothing for me look wise probably because he lacks charm. I saw the trailer and his line delivery really was flat.

I'd actually like to see some more diversity among Hallmark films. Sometimes they can be just so vanilla.
He does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for me looks-wise, either. And the fact that his line delivery on GH annoys me, well..that doesn't help matters. And AMEN about Hallmark needing more diversity! I posted about this in another thread on this site. It's utterly ridiculous that Hallmark remains stagnant in its casting choices!
DeleteThey changed other things about the book so they could've cast anyone in the Darcy role
DeleteNot sure why everyone was so harsh on Ryan Paevey playing Darcy. He was just as good as Colin Firth or any other actor in the part. Ryan was a great choice, an excellent Mr. Darcy.
DeleteRyan was no where near as good as any of the other actors who played Darcy. He wasn't charming and coasted by his looks through the entire movie. The actress plying Elizabeth was pretty bad too. They had no chemistry with each other and their acting over all was very poor. Way too brittle. Alot of struggling to get their lines out. Not sure why Hallmark went with two unknown unproven actors for a movie based on the classics. Seasoned actors could've uplifted this script.
DeleteOh my Gosh. Love anything Jane Austen and this movie looks perfect. Can't wait for it
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing "Jane Austen" about this movie. It's based on a vapid book, not the original.
DeleteThe only thing worse than the acting in this was the dialogue. Dreadful waste of time.
A little nervous about this one. I'm highly protective of Jane Austen and Pride and Prejudice especially. We shall see how this one turns out.... But I agree.... those DRESSES! SWOON!
ReplyDeleteOkay so its sounds like they watered down the book for the movie. Because the book doesnt sound family friendly.

I'm half way through this movie and I'm gagging. They really "hallmarked" it up... yikes. I'm a general lover of hallmark movies but they shouldn't touch these classics...
ReplyDeleteI'm still reeling over all the fantastic he said she said scenes. Well done, again, Hallmark. Great casting and chemistry between Elizabeth and Darcy!
ReplyDeleteLoved Unleashing Mr. Darcy! They saved the best Winterfest movie for last!
ReplyDeleteFell in love with this movie!! One of my new favorites.
ReplyDeleteThis one was not one of my favorites. I know, I know, I know -- other people seemed to absolutely LOVE this movie. I don't know why it didn't click with me, but it didn't click with me. I think that the first 2 Winterfest movies -- "Love in Paradise" and "Love's Complicated" -- were the ones I liked best out of all 4 new movies.
ReplyDeleteI am hoping that there is a gem somewhere in the new bunch of Valentine's Day movies!
I have watched this movie twice. I thought it was a wonderful movie. The characters Darcy and Elizabeth had great chemistry together. I hope they put this on DVD. Great job Hallmark.
ReplyDeleteI loved this movie and want to see it again. I also hope they put it on dvd.
ReplyDeleteI thought Ryan was the right person and attitude to play this part. I hope they make a DVD of this Hallmark movie as i will be first in line to purchase it.
ReplyDeleteI loved this movie and thoroughly enjoyed both of the lead stars. I hope Hallmark produces a DVD as I'd buy the movie in a heartbeat. Hoping for a sequel with same actors as there's plenty of storyline available for one.
DeleteI love this movie and I'm crazy about Darcy (Ryan)...Does anybody know what is the name of the song that is playing when Darcy and Elizabeth are dancing ?
DeleteGood News! The DVD is available on Amazon - here!
DeleteI loved this movie and hope Hallmark makes DVD of it as I will definitely purchase it. I would love a sequel as well as there is plenty of storyline
ReplyDeleteLeft to work with.
I truly loved this movie & the cast as well. I think both leads were excellent and the screenplay was well done. I am truly hoping that Hallmark produces aDVD as I will definitely purchase it. Hoping for a sequel as there is lots of storyline left for one.
ReplyDeleteLoved it...Loved it! Great chemistry between Ryan & Cindy in my opinion. Hoping for a DVD from Hallmark and perhaps a sequel as well.
ReplyDeleteI've watched this movie every time I knew it was going to be on. Absolutely loved it, thought Ryan and Cindy did a wonderful job pretending to dislike one another while actually it was quite the opposite. Will be looking for the DVD, soon I hope.
ReplyDeleteLove the movie! when can buy the DVD?
ReplyDeleteI love this movie with its modern twist. Variety and diversity is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteLoved this movie. Watched it 3 times!! When can I buy the DVD?
ReplyDeleteI hope this movie is coming out on DVD unleashing mr. Darcy
ReplyDeleteI really like this movie - nice difference for Hallmark to format around dogs -WHEN AND WHERE CAN I BUY THE DVD......please.
ReplyDelete"Unleashing Mr. Darcy" is finally available on DVD!
DeleteIn fact, when I first heard the news weeks ago that it was coming I went to Twitter to share the news and was surprised to receive a tweet back from the writer of the book, Teri Wilson, of which this story/movie is based upon! She was ecstatic to learn it was coming to DVD - and I was thrilled to be the one to share that news with her and cast members!
So, YES - you can get your DVD copy now through Amazon- Click Here!!!
The best movie ever. Cannot understand why they feel Ryan was terrible. Did they not see "Pride etc" It is the personality needed for the part. Please advise when it is available on DVD. Thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteHe was wooden and brought no personality to the role. Overall the story was pretty weak(just like in the novel this is directly based off)and I couldn't understand how they went from arguing and hating each other to love with nothing in between.
DeleteI am at a loss at the terrible comments regarding Unleashing Mr Darcy. I have enjoyed it very much however I am in the "Senior Citizen's" category and did appreciate they were not "rolling in the covers" throughout the movie. I especially like the fact it was also about the dogs.
ReplyDeletePlease let us know when "Unleashing Mr Darcy" will be on DVD. I cannot imagine why it has taken so long. Thank you for all your help and advise as to watching "Christian" type movies. It helps to make the correct decisions. God Bless you and you work.
ReplyDeleteI liked this movie very much. I believe that Amazon is now accepting pre orders for this movie which is going to be released rather soon. I am on the pre order list, hope this info helps?
ReplyDeleteYes! Yes! Yes! Isn't that wonderful news, Victoria! Oh my goodness... I am such a Jane Austen fan, myself, so this Hallmark movie, "Unleashing Mr. Darcy," was definitely one that also appealed to me -very much!
DeleteHere's a direct link to the DVD at Amazon!
If you can see the left column, I have the DVD currently listed near the top! I was so delighted to discover it was coming to DVD, as well, and share the news with my readers!
I also have the "Unleashing Mr. Darcy" DVD listed on my page: [ HALLMARK MOVIES ON DVD from A to Z ]. That is where I add all the latest Hallmark movie releases!
I used to post them all individually on their movie pages (like the one above). It can be somewhat time consuming to do... however, your comment has encouraged me, Victoria, to see... perhaps, I should make some exceptions and do that once again!
Thank you so much for commenting & sharing!!! So good to hear you pre-ordered your DVD copy!!!
Blessings, Net :)
Does anyone know the song when they are dancing.
