This is a very campy theme-role romp ! But a word of warning about this movie to true Austen Romantics: this is a loose comedy based on Austen fandom which may offend you ! Austenland is a funny romance focused around an Austen fan , whose visit slowly succumbs to disillusionment , in a contemporised period theme resort . If you are an ardent fan looking for Austen with an emotional modern twist , consider Lost in Austen or The Jane Austen Book Club , instead . But back to Austenland , which is very well cast indeed , and certainly has some amusing scenes , I can but hope they make a period comedy mini-series with all the characters involved , perhaps called The Lady Charming Mysteries (along with her effervescent husband , Colonel Andrews and others). I have some ideas along this line .
