Austenland(2013)

I grew up watching regency period drama films, and this film delightfully tipped all those tropes on their heads. It was amusing and honest. If you'#39;re unlikely to watch something like Pride and Prejudice or Jane Eyre, you'#39;re probably not going to like this movie. But if those movies hold a soft spot in your heart, then this movie could be perfect for you.

This is my guilty pleasure movie. I would have said Pride and Prejudice was, but I don'#39;t feel guilty about that movie.

This is quite seriously one of the worst things I have ever had the excruciating misfortune to witness the first and last 20 minutes of. Jesus fucking christ.

Fell flat for me. I wasn't sure who Jane would end up with for most of the film- and with Jane Austen, you should always know. The Darcy-esque character didn't get much screen time so I wasn't sure how I felt about him. Jennifer Coolidge was funny but if you don't like her humor you won't enjoy this. The best part for me was James Callis' character-- always a good time watching Gaius from Battlestar Galactica act in other things. He's kinda the same character as he is in Bridget Jones-- sort of. As a Pride and Prejudice super fan, I was disappointed. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, or Bridget Jones's Diary are much more worth the watch and have much better Darcys.

Keri Russell stars in the satirical comedy _Austenland_. The story follows a young woman obsessed with the works of Jane Austen, who takes a vacation to a retreat in the English countryside where she gets to live out a Jane Austen style adventure. Russell gives a great performance and has good chemistry with her co-stars. Additionally, Jennifer Coolidge and Jane Seymour make for a strong supporting cast. Still, the writing is a little weak and the plot doesn’t always seem like it knows where it’s going. But despite its ups and downs, _Austenland_ is fun and entertaining.

It's a bit tedious, but an interesting idea for a vacation. ;)

The movie, take it or leave it; I didn'#39;t like it that much. But the soundtrack was surprisingly good. A shockingly large number of original tracks for a '#39;romcom'#39; that'#39;s not full of headliners. [spoiler] And that '#34;Hot In Herre'#34; sequence is hilarious. [/spoiler]

Divertente, ironico e coinvolgente un'#39;accattivante commedia che lascia spazio solamente a grosse risate: ideale manuale di come un fan non deve diventare o comportarsi. Piacevole.

This film was hilarious, and I'#39;m so glad it bore my concerns out about '#34;Martin.'#34;
