In order to
get rid of my current writer’s block, I thought a nice little chat about one of
my all-time favorite movies would be good. I have always been more of a TV girl
to be honest, but some movies just stay with me and I can watch a hundred times
without ever getting bored. That is the case with the amazing Austenland, and
incredible British-American romantic comedy.
The premise
of the story follows Jane, a 30-something woman who is a fan (you could say
slightly obsessed) of everything Jane Austen that decides to go on holiday in
an immersive Jane Austen themed resort. While the estate is absolutely breathtakingly
beautiful, it is also full of charming kooky characters. The movie made me laugh
like I hadn’t in a long time, it is full of funny moments and while you to get
the sweet/romantic scenes, I thought it was heavier on comedy part of a
rom-com.
Keri Russell,
Jennifer Coolidge and Georgia King are hilarious and the supporting cast really
elevates the whole movie, it’s a hoot! I don’t think there was a lot of
publicity when the movie came out a few years ago, but it is so worth watching.
Yes it is a bit ridiculous at times, but it is in the best way possible and
really it is quite charming and heart-warming.
You can
watch the trailer here!
You can
find Austenland on DVD on Amazon and it is available on iTunes. I really cannot
recommend it more, I am sure you’ll have fun watching it!
