The Worst Film Ever

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

My best friend and i love this movie to pieces.its a great combo of humor,romance,fantasy and drama.Some would call it a chick flick but even my dad liked it .Im just sad that it was under advertised.I have the DVD and i never get tired of watching it.the music by Emmy the great is amazing.i love all of the actors and actresses in the movie,they have great chemistry that really made the movie.i really like that most girls can relate to the main character(Jane) because shes (in the most simplest of terms) a Fan girl and is waiting for her "Mr.Darcy" or "prince charming".great to watch with friends or by your self.

I don't understand why this movie got negative review. As loose adaptation, Austenland still fun to watch, and for me, this movie even better than Lost in Austen (I mean, "separating Liz from Darcy?" even for the main character, that's impossible to accept).Jane Hayes character is a realistic one for me. She realize no more addiction to Darcy when she found out about Martin (and the class of package, how the clueless Charming get special treatment "just" because she has money) and Jane still hard to accept when Nobley came to her apartment, although as every romantic movie, of course happy ending on the line.Jennifer Coolidge, amusing as always, and JJ Feild just perfect, he has men in Austen's material, I also love him in Northanger Abbey.Overall it's a good movie, I haven't read the book (and didn't plan to), but as movie, I totally enjoy Austenland.

This could have been a clever movie, if, granted, one that would have played to a limited audience. A Jane Austen devotee journeys to Austenland, something of a theme park built around Austen and her novels, to live in the world she has come to know through her reading and has a series of adventures, good and bad, meeting others who share her passion.That's not what we get, though, largely because the script and Jane, the character who is supposedly an Austen fanatic, show little knowledge of Austen's books. Indeed, Jane arrives at Austenland to discover only one other "client," a woman who knows nothing about Austen at all. So why did she go to Austenland? Jane doesn't seem to know Austen's works very well, either. Just a little superficial trivia. A real Austen fan would cite scenes and quote passages on a regular basis. As I said, that would limit the potential audience for this movie, but since it seems to have been a flop anyway...The ending is right out of a second-rate rom-com.So, I'd suggest taking a pass on this movie. If there is anything that distinguishes the dialogue in Austen's novels, it's wit - and that, along with any real knowledge of Austen's works, is sorely lacking in this movie, which goes for broad comedy - when it remembers to go for comedy at all.

This is a very campy theme-role romp ! But a word of warning about this movie to true Austen Romantics: this is a loose comedy based on Austen fandom which may offend you ! Austenland is a funny romance focused around an Austen fan , whose visit slowly succumbs to disillusionment , in a contemporised period theme resort . If you are an ardent fan looking for Austen with an emotional modern twist , consider Lost in Austen or The Jane Austen Book Club , instead . But back to Austenland , which is very well cast indeed , and certainly has some amusing scenes , I can but hope they make a period comedy mini-series with all the characters involved , perhaps called The Lady Charming Mysteries (along with her effervescent husband , Colonel Andrews and others). I have some ideas along this line .
