Socially awkward Jane Hayes is obsessed with the works of Jane Austen and fantasizes about the character of Mr. Darcy. She scrapes together as much money as she can and takes off for Austenland, a British theme resort where guests immerse themselves in a romantic fantasy worthy of Austen herself. However, because Jane's limited funds do not allow as many privileges as other guests, her chance at a fling with her very own Mr. Darcy may be limited as well.

Critics Consensus

Despite an intriguing premise and fine performances from a talented cast, Austenland succumbs to outworn romcom cliches and slapstick gags.

The series is one with an abundance of senses and sensibilities, but even the fiercest admirers of Jane Austen -- especially the fiercest admirers of Jane Austen -- will blanch at the extremes of Jane Hayes.

With all the makings of a cult, this hit-and-miss hoot is as weird - and certainly much sillier than you'd expect - of a comedy produced by Stefanie 'Twilight' Meyer but directed/penned by the co-writer of Napoleon Dynamite.

1/5

What might have made a five-minute skit becomes an extended exercise in taking a joke for a walk round a country house before allowing it to crap on the terrace and then stamping it to death on the manicured lawn.

Unfortunately, Hess and company weren't nearly as interested in Austen as they were in a thousand other boring romantic comedies.

This hallucinatory comedy boasts a fantastic level of originality.

B-

If Austenland is supposed to criticize obsessive fandom, the ending makes no sense. If it isn't, the rest of the film makes no sense. And yet, the light, airy, innocent nature of it all is somehow pleasing enough

I thought it was cute! Kinda shocked at the low rating. It's s cutesy romance not an oscar contender.

I love this dumb movie. It's so fun. yeah, there's some cringe-making bits but it's really lovely. Russell and Feild are charming. If you want to laugh at yourself and your fantasies about romance, this is for you.

LIke i read before, this is a very cute chick flick. The kind of movie you can watch over and over, because it´s fun and simple. if you want deepness and a thick plot, go read a book, or watch a documentary.

This is one of the tightest, funniest, niche romantic comedies I have ever seen. It respects the book, and I think Jennifer Coolidge's performance was hilarious and even funnier than the written character. I notice a new thing every time I watch it, there are so many hidden jokes that need a second look.

Urgh. So much potential wasted. This is one of the most disappointing Austen-themed films I've seen yet.
