Synopsis: Unlucky-in-love Keri Russell hopes to find her 'Mr. Darcy' at a Westworld-style theme park for Jane Austen tragics in this breezy rom-com.

Aroview: Notable for being the debut of Jerusha Hess, sister of NAPOLEAN DYNAMITE auteur Jared and the often-geeky Bret McKenzie as romantic interest. The tone is variable throughout - sometimes the jokes work, mostly they fall flat - but the highlights are JJ Feild (who once brilliantly played a young Michael Caine in LAST ORDERS) and the return to the big screen of the always watchable Keri Russell. Somebody cast her in something bigger than this, please. ~ Dan Slevin

I find this review offensive! I don’t agree with this review. I agree with this review.
3 stars (Good Enough) You got the feeling that it was unsure what its boundaries were, and how much it could get away with. The cast enjoyed making it and for the most part, it should succeed with its audience. ~Tubbs
