(2013) Austenland.
ROMANTTIC COMEDY.
The makers made sure Kerri Russell is the only one that stands out by making her best looking one and the most normal out of all the girls shown on here. Pretentious, and self absorbed movie which has Kerri Russell as Jane Hayes whose a huge Jane Austen fan. And after hearing about Austenland, the resort, located somewhere in England, she then pours a lot of money into visiting the area, to re-enact some of Austen's most popular characters. Another reason for the trip, is to settle a bet with her sister for the intention of completely forgetting about not being an Austen fan anymore. And by the time she gets there, she's then ridiculed by the manager in charge, Mrs. Wattlesbrook played by Jane Seymour, and besides given the worst dresses, she's also put into the worst accommodations, which doesn't make a lot of sense since all her other clients that also put money into it are not treated the exact same way. Good idea, but not relatable nor it is possible. The movie is co-written and directed by Jerusha Hess.
2 out of 4 stars.
