Rewatch worthy? Yes
TLDR: Some cringe-worthy moments but overall entertaining and worth the watch.
Synopsis: This girl who is OBSESSED with Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice, and especially Mr. Darcy (as portrayed by Colin Firth in 1995) goes to England to this theme place called Austenland that's supposed to give you a full regency experience with actors paid to romance you and everything. When she gets there, it turns out she got the cheap package (even though she blew her savings because it was so expensive) so the woman who runs the place doesn't like her. Hijinks and romance ensue along with a healthy dose of chaos. But of course, she gets the happily ever after ending.
Her obsession makes me feel like a normal human being. Her bedroom back home is basically a SHRINE to Mr. Darcy.
Jennifer Coolidge is also in it and she does the most horrendous English accent. It's hysterical!
