In reply to Silver Petticoat. I'm with you. To those folks I say, loosen up. Don't be so overprotective of Jane. She can take it. ;)

In reply to Juju at Tales of Whimsy.com. I know some people feels that it isn't honoring Jane Austen but I think it totally does. I like that the movie is all about fun.

I’m with you. I loved it! It honors Jane and keeps it fun. I liked the book too. I did however find that I missed her screen friendship with Miss Charming during my read.

PS I’m still mad that she chose Ben too BTW. 😉

In reply to Rissi. I say that all the time because some people do tend to take some of these modern Jane Austen books and films more seriously then they should. And it definitely was a fun experience. I hope more people will give it a chance so we can enjoy more fun films like this. And thanks!

Love what you said about NOT taking this too seriously. I say that all the time about these Austen contemporaries – viewers have to go into them realizing they aren’t going to be just like Austen’s masterpieces. They will take liberties, be different, so enjoy them as a fun piece of candied cinema.
That is just what ‘Austenland’ was. A fun experience.

Great review! 🙂

In reply to Sandra Dionne Adragna. Thanks! It is a really FUN and even funnier movie. Everyone in the theater was crying with laughter. Don't believe the majority of the critics. They probably just don't understand the material being satirized.

Okay loved the review. Sounds like a really fun movie to watch. I am going to go see it this week as it sounds thoroughly entertaining. You should be a movie critic as your reviews are awesome.
