Liz Kocan Decider While the movie has its moments and a few laughs, the non-stop Austen quotes and references should have been reined in a little, and Sweeney is saddled with playing an annoying caricature rather than a believable character. Feb 13, 2024 Full Review Jerrica Tisdale Tell-Tale TV David Weaver deserves praise for creating this clever premise. It is fun. Additionally, it’s enjoyable to watch Lilly transform from a somewhat cartoon character to a more mature, fully functioning adult. Rated: 3/5 Feb 12, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Tiffany G Review: https://wp.me/p65txm-f9Q/#LoveAndJane Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/18/24 Full Review nikki c Disappointing. The main character was written to be clumsy and ignorant. It wasn't believable that the Darcy character would be even slightly attracted to her, she was so rude and clueless. The actors did the best they could with a poor script Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/17/24 Full Review Frank N So my wife and I love watching hallmark movies. To us they are like a big fluffy blanket we can curl up with. Are the stories original? Usually not. Are they feats of cinematic glory? Usually not. But they are like putting on a big fluffy sweater and curling up with your SO and just letting the rest of the world slip away. This movie was none of those things. The story was all over the place, the characters unlikeable, and almost every scene had a cringe moment if not an entire cringe scene. Practically all the dialogue in the movie was so uncomfortable to watch. And hey I like a good cringe moment when it drives the narrative forward, but this was practically every scene, and almost none of it drove the story forward. I did love the book club members though and the truck driver was such a sweetheart. I adore the idea of a big burly trucker listening to Jane Austen on the road and having to pull over to compose himself. But for the most part all of the dialogue was just awkward and fell flat. It's clear to me that the writer and director had no clear idea of what story they wanted to tell and it just went off in so many directions. And this is evident in how many plot points were left by the wayside; what happened with the ex boyfriend? What happened with the bff/coworker's love life? Who did she choose? What happened with her manuscript? What happened with the bookstore/app? So many stories were started with no resolution. Even the romance between the two leads was basically undeveloped. They took one walk, that's it. And that went suddenly to happy ever after. It just wasn't an enjoyable journey. The one redeeming part for me was the line about the cattle at the end, that actually made me smile, I enjoyed the callback. But even that was ruined by the dialogue that followed. I agree with a previous commenter that after we finished it we did something we rarely do and immediately deleted it off our dvr. I mean they can't all be winners I guess. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/12/24 Full Review Charlotte C As a big Jane Austen fan, I was a little disappointed with the Hallmark movie Love&Jane. Cute concept of Jane visiting Lilly to give her advice, but the advice did not seem like Austen. Allison Sweeney is one of my favorite Hallmark actors, as well as Benjamin Ayres, but they were working with a poor script. And the wardrobe for both was awful. Hallmark missed the boat on this one.
