Austenland (2013) Movie Info
Twilight author Stephanie Meyer makes her first foray into film
producing with this romantic comedy about a 30-something woman whose
lifelong obsession with all things Jane Austen lead her to an eccentric
theme park based on the author's writings, and into the company of a
handsome young suitor. For as long as she can remember, Jane Hayes (Keri
Russell) has treasured the writings of the author behind such literary
classics as Emma, and Pride & Prejudice. For years, Jane had been
stashing away
funds in hopes that
someday she would be able to afford a trip to Austenland - a place where
the die-hard fan can be completely immersed in the elegant world of the
beloved author. When Jane finally manages to save up enough, she
excitedly packs her bags and books a room. Upon arriving, Jane quickly
discovers that Austenland is everything she had ever imagined. Every
detail is exquisite, save for one small exception: Jane's limited funds
mean that she can't enjoy the same luxury experience as the other,
wealthier bachelorettes who currently populate Austenland, but she
decides to make the most of her trip regardless. Later, when Jane falls
into a romance with a dashing young servant, a lifetime of dreams
suddenly begin to come true. Jane Seymour, James Callis, and Jennifer
Coolidge co-star. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Austenland (2013) Movie Review
It is smart and surprisingly literate, its only downfall being in that,
in riffing on the work of a very talented writer on the subject of men
and women, its screenplay could have used a little more of Jane Austen's
immaculate sense of storytelling. (Read more ...)
