Socially awkward Jane Hayes is obsessed with the works of Jane Austen and fantasizes about the character of Mr. Darcy. She scrapes together as much money as she can and takes off for Austenland, a British theme resort where guests immerse themselves in a romantic fantasy worthy of Austen herself. However, because Jane's limited funds do not allow as many privileges as other guests, her chance at a fling with her very own Mr. Darcy may be limited as well.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Despite an intriguing premise and fine performances from a talented cast, Austenland succumbs to outworn romcom cliches and slapstick gags.

John Anderson Wall Street Journal Apr 3, 2026
The series is one with an abundance of senses and sensibilities, but even the fiercest admirers of Jane Austen -- especially the fiercest admirers of Jane Austen -- will blanch at the extremes of Jane Hayes. Go to Full Review Larushka Ivan-Zadeh metro.co.uk Sep 6, 2017
With all the makings of a cult, this hit-and-miss hoot is as weird - and certainly much sillier than you'd expect - of a comedy produced by Stefanie 'Twilight' Meyer but directed/penned by the co-writer of Napoleon Dynamite. Go to Full Review Mark Kermode Observer (UK) Sep 29, 2013
1/5
What might have made a five-minute skit becomes an extended exercise in taking a joke for a walk round a country house before allowing it to crap on the terrace and then stamping it to death on the manicured lawn. Go to Full Review David Bax Battleship Pretension Feb 25, 2021
Unfortunately, Hess and company weren't nearly as interested in Austen as they were in a thousand other boring romantic comedies. Go to Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Dec 3, 2020
8/10
This hallucinatory comedy boasts a fantastic level of originality. Go to Full Review Ryan Syrek The Reader (Omaha, NE) Aug 27, 2019
B-
If Austenland is supposed to criticize obsessive fandom, the ending makes no sense. If it isn't, the rest of the film makes no sense. And yet, the light, airy, innocent nature of it all is somehow pleasing enough Go to Full Review Read all reviews

A F @berbanator Mar 3, 2026 This is a silly, fun movie. The book was better, but I do enjoy watching this when I need something silly to watch. See more Charlene S @CharliMax Dec 26, 2025 This is a fantastic little movies for lovers of Austen. It's witty and silly at the time. Enjoyed it. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Nov 20, 2025 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Kimberly H @RT35764915 Aug 11, 2025 This movie needed some help with the jokes, only had a few true laughs, but I appreciated the story. The end had both my roommate and I surprised! And a lot of the bad reviews seem to come from people who wouldn't like this "type" of movie anyway. If romcoms aren't your thing, don't watch and rate them poorly! See more Spencer P @s_plewe Aug 4, 2025 A made-by-Austen-fans-for-Austen-fans romcom with a modern twist and a lovable Keri Russell, that hits all the beats one could ask for, plus the Hess' trademark cringe. See more Kalissa H @kali_416 Jul 5, 2025 It’s super cheesy and unrealistic, but the twist at the end was great. See more Read all reviews
