Are you an Austen lover? Do you enjoy a good rom-com? Do you dream
of Mr. Darcy? Then "Austenland" is the movie for you.
Keri Russell stars as the hilarious, Darcy-crazed, 30-something
Jane Hayes. When the latest of her relationships goes south, Jane decides she needs
a vacation. To escape from her everyday, unromantic American life, Jane opts
for the place she thinks she will feel most at herself: Austenland.
Austenland is a place where guests can enjoy all-Austen all the
time. With Regency-era dress and housing, actors to "entertain" (and
woo) the guests, and era-appropriate entertainment like "hunting" and
cross-stitching, it is not surprising when hilarities ensue.
As Jane navigates her "Copper Level" rooms, the wildly
funny other guests (Jennifer Coolidge as Miss Elizabeth Charming), and actors (James
Callis as Col. Andrews, Ricky Whittle as Captain George East, Jane Seymour as
owner Mrs. Wattlesbrook), her Darcy dreams seem to come to life in her somewhat
confusing romantic pairings with the aloof Mr. Nobley (JJ Feild) and farmhand
Martin (Bret McKenzie).
Napoleon Dynamite screenwriter's Jerusha Hess made a hilarious
directorial debut in this 97-minute movie. With romance, the Regency era, and
comedy, this movie has everything you need for a worthwhile trip to the movies.
Make sure to check before heading to the theatre as it is only showing in
select locations (Quail Springs AMC for Oklahoma City).
