Jane Hayes's adoration of all things Jane Austen is complicating her love life.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Quirky, but fun submitted by j9hutch on June 26, 2014, 7:16am This was definitely an original movie. At first, I was skeptical, but I really enjoyed the movie. I'm not super familiar with the works of Jane Austen and don't think you need to be to enjoy the comedy. I really like Keri Russel and Jennifer Coolidge is hilarious. I would definitely recommend the movie as a light, fun romantic comedy.

Fantasy land submitted by DL on July 20, 2014, 9:51pm How would you like to live in your own fantasy land? The main character does in this movie but careful what you wish for it might not be exactly like you think. It is a romantic comedy that I watched over and over, I wonder if there really is a place like this in England?

Cute! submitted by Kikumatsu97 on August 8, 2014, 3:51pm This was an easy one for knitting a new set of coasters and having an ice cream sundae on the couch. Easy peasy and a fun little story. ;)

Good submitted by Amber Kinder on June 18, 2015, 11:29am This movie was kind of cheesy but in a guilty pleasure, entertaining sort of way. Part of me wishes this was a real place! Would be very fun to visit.

Light and Funny submitted by sumsaylor on July 14, 2015, 9:12pm It's cute, fun, girly movie. I didn't read the book so can't compare the two, but found the movie very enjoyable.

Ok movie submitted by dicencal on July 31, 2016, 10:36am This movie is entertaining, and some of the performances are pretty good (JJ Feild in particular). It is also totally over the top, though. Not at all subtle.

Cute, light submitted by lfmarcus on August 19, 2017, 4:15pm Predictable but a fun, light watch. And JJ Feild is so great in anything he does.

Cute (and odd) submitted by Mightymoth on July 21, 2018, 7:25am This film was good fun but at times very odd. If you like Jane Austen and want to imagine a time when you could leave your current life and explore then this film is a cute rendering.

Not Like the Book submitted by majean on July 21, 2018, 3:52pm I admit that I watched this movie twice in a 24 hour span. But I am a little disappointed that it didn't follow the book more closely. The very end is ridiculous, but I didn't hate it.

So watchable submitted by Princess Cimorene on July 19, 2020, 10:59pm I've lost count of how many times I've seen this movie. It's a pick-me-up whether you watch it alone or with friends. The soundtrack is great, the characters are ridiculous (in the best possible way), and it's just so quotable.

Delightful submitted by tkuz5 on July 20, 2022, 9:25pm This is a fun, light-hearted movie, that is delightful. If you are a Jane Austen fan you will particularly enjoy, but t you don't have to be!

A whirlwind of absurd silliness with a love story gently resting inside submitted by Diananana on August 6, 2023, 11:55pm The quest for true love takes some ridiculous turns in this story. Watch this movie and enjoy the ride.
