Austenland

"REWATCH: This movie is flat out hilarious and sigh-inducing for everyone, but especially Austen lovers. The whole film is filled with funny moments and perfects nods to Austen’s work. Keri Russell is such a lovable main character as Jane and Henry Nobley really was the perfect picture of a modern Mr. Darcy. The cherry on top of this film and really the show stopper was Jennifer Coolidge. She, as per usual, is laugh out loud hysterical in this film. All in all, this movie is just as I remember it: funny, cute, romantic and a good time. Prime chick flick material!"

"This movie isn’t very good but I still love it and will watch it occasionally, it’s very much a “guilty” pleasure movie for me. I love Jane Austen and the class divide in the movie was kinda a funny commentary but still very much on the nose about it. But nonetheless still a fun and shut your brain off rom-com."

"Henry Nobley is a perfect cocktail of characteristics *chefs kiss*"

"It's not great by any means, but fine for something to kill time. One to shove in the chick flick collection."

"Love this! Kerri Russell is fantastic! So much fun!!"

"If you are a mega huge Jane Austen fan - stop everything and watch this movie if you haven't seen it yet!!! It is positively one of the best and funniest rom-com movies I have ever seen! The plot is flawless, dreamy, and hilarious!!! You'll laugh out loud one moment and be swooning the next! I cannot say enough good things about this movie!!!"

"WHEN I TELL YOU I LAUGHED SO HARD THROUGHOUT THIS WHOLE MOVIE YALL! It’s wild how underrated this is. If you are a Jane Austen fan you have to watch this, I promise you will cackle a couple times. I absolutely love Jennifer Coolidge, she can definitely take partial credit for why this movie is a great watch. Okay so the ending was a little predictable, at least for me. I was yelling at the tv the whole time “I KNEW THAT WAS GONNS HAPPEN YES!” but in a way I’m glad I was right on how it ends. All of the love interest are chefs kiss* Please give this movie a chance and go watch it. 10/10 new favorite most likely"

"Watch the characters from the book come to life, will make you laugh until you cry. Fantastic adaptation from the book."

"(2013) This follows Jane, a die hard Jane Austen fan who spends her life savings on an immersive Regency era themed vacation. As she navigates the fantasy world, Jane finds herself entangled in a romance that blurs the lines between reality and fantasy. I just loved Austenland! The costumes and set design was absolutely beautiful, complete with ball gowns and handsome gentlemen. JJ Feild's charm as Mr. Henry Nobley had me swooning… I'd spend my life savings on a Bridgerton-like themed vacation to meet someone like him! Austenland makes me want to experience the romance and magic of the Regency era firsthand. Jennifer Coolidge's comedic timing is perfection, and she brings a fun dynamic to the film. But it's Keri Russell's performance as Jane that really shines, she's relatable, witty, and endearing. It's a fun, feel good movie that pokes fun at societal expectations and challenges the notion of women needing a man to complete them. It's perfect for fans of period dramas and romantic comedies. I'm looking forward to watching more of JJ Feild's work…. he's definitely caught my attention! 8/10"

"This is such a sweet movie! She might be a little more obsessed with Jane Austen than me. But this movie has many laughs as to be expected with Jennifer Coolidge in it :) A must see for any Austen fan! "
