Rotten
The acting throughout falls into two registers; pantomime mugging for most of the cast, while the romantic leads, Russell and Feild, look so ill at ease that you pity them.
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

Austenland is modest fun but needs to show it has a brain under its sun bonnet.
Linda Barnard, Toronto Star
Rotten
"Austenland" understands Austen's enduring romantic appeal but has no use for her deeper themes of class, wealth and gender inequality.
Rafer Guzman, Newsday
Rotten
It's tentative in its intentions and afraid to push all the way with its premise. It is not sharp enough as a comedy, and when it tries to shift gears and become a romance, it is unconvincing in its machinations.
Adam Graham, Detroit News
Rotten
A mildly surprising and completely heartwarming ending casts a glow over the previous 96 minutes of "Austenland" but can't wipe out all regrets for what might have been.
Gail Pennington, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
