8/10
Fun, lighthearted entertainment

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.
