Since I haven't read that Austen book, I can't comment on how closely related is to the source material. But I will say aside from the usual conflicts that you'd expect from a Hallmarkesque movie. It is a whole convoluted mess, but an enjoyable, laughable convoluted mess.
The characters themselves definitely represent the current masses due to modern resources. But that doesn't distract from the undertones of how social media can shape and form our lives, as well as how family can be such an influence on your own views as a individual.
Wren, the heroine of the movie was definitely on the merry-go-round of life circling three men, having a connection with all three of them.
But who to choose?
The ex, the newbie, or the set-up?
Definitely give it a shot but while I say this, it doesn't mean this is a masterpiece. It's not but it is quite funny at times.
