I have always liked Jane Austen’s novels and have read most of them multiple times. Similarly, I am okay with. Scriptwriters taking small liberties with the stories, meaning I don’t dislike it just because of the changes. However, as I watched this adaptation, I found myself not liking it as much as I had other versions. I had to think about why, because I thought a couple of the performances were better than average and the sets and costumes were fine. It seems there was no rhyme or reason for some of the changes. Events or spoken lines occurred at different times than I expected, or a different person said it, and even at least temporary changes in personality of characters occurred a couple of times. It didn’t reach the level of me giving up on the movie or contemplating a dismal rating here, but it was enough to leave my mentally scratching my head and vaguely thinking it could have been better.

Watch it if you hate the book! :)

Mansfield Park is my least favourite Jane Austen novel. I find it dull and highly uninspiring, lacking the wit, chemistry and energy of Austen's stone-cold classics like Pride and Prejudice or Emma.What this film does is completely inject new life into it. Yes, the characterisation of Fanny is much more Lizzie Bennet than Fanny Price. She is not like this in the book - at all. It's a complete change of character. But it works. (And I loved the very tongue-in-cheek inclusions of some of Austen's juvenilia, which in this film, Fanny has written herself.)The whole production is buzzing with energy and intrigue throughout. It brings out the themes of slavery more explicitly, which is very interesting - Tom's nearly drinking himself to death is explicitly signposted as a result of his horror at what Sir Tom is doing in Antigua. Sir Tom generally comes out less sympathetically than in the novel. (Mrs Norris and Maria are just as they are in the text - to my delight.)Only one thing slightly lacks - Henry Crawford is a tad miscast. In the book, he's a charismatic but slightly sinister rake...and sinister because only Fanny sees through him. In this film, he's a bumbling fool with a high sex drive. Nothing wrong with it - just a slightly different take than mine. You could imagine some audience members feeling sorry for him when Fanny rejects him, which is not what should happen.However - in general, wonderful adaptation! Some things are totally altered from the book - and for the best.
