Austenland (2013)
Directed by Jerusha
Hess this film based on the novel of the same name stars Keri
Russell, JJ Feild, Jennifer Collidge and Jane Seymour. A single
American woman in her 30s travels to England to live out her Jane
Austen obsession on a themed holiday.
This film has some
personality and a few nice Austen inspired touches but at times it
takes the simplistic route too often. Looking at the difference
between fantasy and reality provides a decent theme but I am not sure
that the film ever really gets to the heart of the matter. There are
some nice performances but Jane Seymour seems a little under used and
Jennifer Coolidge a bit type cast.
3/5
