Just perfect...

I'll tell you why so serious

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

it is not impressive, coherent or serious. it seems be chaotic, silly, a form of improvisation. but it is far to be boring. and that is its small, significant virtue. because it is only a joke. ironic, hilarious, kitsch, absurd, pink, strange. a not complicated image of social relations, about show versus reality, in childish - kitsch manner. it propose characters not a good story. and it does a meritoriously job using perfect cast for its purpose. a comedy. not the best but useful for the status of strange mixture of Austen 's universe and slices of different contemporaries aspects. so, nice. or just hilarious.

My best friend and i love this movie to pieces.its a great combo of humor,romance,fantasy and drama.Some would call it a chick flick but even my dad liked it .Im just sad that it was under advertised.I have the DVD and i never get tired of watching it.the music by Emmy the great is amazing.i love all of the actors and actresses in the movie,they have great chemistry that really made the movie.i really like that most girls can relate to the main character(Jane) because shes (in the most simplest of terms) a Fan girl and is waiting for her "Mr.Darcy" or "prince charming".great to watch with friends or by your self.

I admit that I only found out about this movie because I was practically stalking JJ Field's IMDb page, but I'm glad I did because I got to witness this fine piece of work. I have already seen it twice and thoroughly enjoyed it both times. Yes, there are many clichés that you would find in your average rom-com and it can be very over the top sometimes but that's what makes it so funny. It's done in such a hilariously odd way you just can't help but laugh. I myself have not read any of Jane Austin's books but I can still appreciate what this movie brings to the table. JJ Field's character is very charming but you're never sure whether to root for Mr. Nobley or Martin, but all is revealed in the end... Now, I can't go this whole review without mentioning the iconic Jennifer Coolidge. She is one funny lady who really makes her character her own. She can put the Coolidge twist on any character. I love it. Keri Russel is so sweet and is a delight to watch, along with Bret McKenzie. Great cast, superb acting, funny storyline and just outright hilarious. A very enjoyable movie that I could gladly watch again.

Jane Hayes (Keri Russell) is obsessed with her namesake Jane Austen and especially Mr. Darcy. She is alone and spends all her savings to participate in an Austen themed estate. The owner Mrs. Wattlesbrook (Jane Seymour) relegates her to be the dumpy Miss Erstwhile. Miss Charming (Jennifer Coolidge) is her fellow American participant except she doesn't anything about Austen. Mr. Henry Nobley (JJ Feild) is one of the characters and the Darcy type. Martin (Bret McKenzie) is the stable hand and isn't part of the play.Writer/director Jerusha Hess made 'Napoleon Dynamite' with her husband. I'm not familiar with the Shannon Hale novel this is based on. Simply put, I like some of the comedy but the romance is too Austenest. In fact, I didn't care much about the romance or the Hollywood ending. The relationship has no chemistry and never given much of a chance in the movie. The comedy works mainly because of Jennifer Coolidge and the quirky behind-the-scenes jabs at the world of Austen. Whenever the facade falls away, there are usually a few laughs.
