Hallmark Channel 3-Movie Collection: (An American in Austen / Rip in Time) / Love Strikes Twice) (DVD)

Bibliophile Harriet (Eliza Bennett) met the proposal of stodgy boyfriend Ethan (Bert Seymour) with a maybe, still holding out hope there was a Mr. Darcy somewhere. She'd get an uncanny taste the next day, as she awoke as a new character in "Pride and Prejudice"-and as life in Jane Austen's prose proves not what it's cracked up be, can she find her way home? Nicholas Bishop, Nell Barlow, Catherine Hannay also star in "An American in Austen." Then, having swapped Manhattan for a life of organic farming in the Catskills, the last thing Sarah Majors (Torrey DeVitto) thought she'd find was a confused squatter (Niall Matter) in her barn... claiming he was Rip Van Winkle, Jr., just awakened from the 1780s. Believing him a PTSD-stricken veteran, she takes him on as a hand... and must balance her emerging feelings for him with the mounting evidence that his story may not be crazy. "Rip in Time" co-stars Eric Keenleyside. Lastly, while on the cusp of making partner, hard-charging attorney Maggie Turner (Katie Findlay) was having less success making marriage work with bitter history teacher Josh (Wyatt Nash). One coin toss in a fountain-and bump on the noggin-later, she wakes up to find herself 15 years in the past... but will this uncanny mulligan let her make the lives of all around her better, or worse? "Love Strikes Twice" also stars Marshall Williams, Sharon Bajer, Alex Poch-Goldin.4 1/4 hrs. Total. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
