Socially awkward Jane Hayes (Keri Russell) 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.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

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

Larushka Ivan-Zadeh metro.co.uk 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. Sep 6, 2017 Full Review Mark Kermode Observer (UK) 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. Rated: 1/5 Sep 29, 2013 Full Review Charlotte O'Sullivan London Evening Standard Simply by smiling, [Russell] robs one of the will to live. Rated: 2/5 Sep 27, 2013 Full Review David Bax Battleship Pretension Unfortunately, Hess and company weren't nearly as interested in Austen as they were in a thousand other boring romantic comedies. Feb 25, 2021 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins This hallucinatory comedy boasts a fantastic level of originality. Rated: 8/10 Dec 3, 2020 Full Review Ryan Syrek The Reader (Omaha, NE) 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 Rated: B- Aug 27, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Bronwyn D I watched this because I'm a huge Keri Russell fan. The movie was cute, but could've been Way Better. The idea was smart. And I enjoyed the twist. Something was missing though, & it got a little too silly sometimes. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/21/24 Full Review MARIANA C Don't be fooled by the terrible reviews. I couldn't stop laughing. This is such a funny, refreshing, clever and romantic movie! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/03/24 Full Review kathy p Must see for Pride and Prejudice Fans, Gives you all the feels and some comedy . Loved it Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/21/24 Full Review Julian Rex M Its premise is undoubtedly original, but Austenland's largely dull and repetitive humor keep it from being a worthwhile watch. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/19/24 Full Review a f I am convinced that this comedic masterpiece goes over some of the other reviewers heads or perhaps the concept of humor alludes them all together. This is hilarious from start to finish. If you are a big fan of Jane Austen and the romance genre you will enjoy this movie and you will understand all of its tropes, cliches, and campiness for what it is. A satire. A must watch for any devoted romance fan who has seen all that the genre has offered us. This film was made for you. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/14/24 Full Review Michelle G Amazing! Jane Austen fans must see!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/10/24 Full Review Read all reviews
