An American in Austen (2024 TV Movie)
9/10
A Message Worth The Watch
24 February 2024
Out of all the Jane Austen Hallmarks (2024), this one has impressed me the most.

Harriet is a struggling writer with a supporting boyfriend that loves her deeply. Despite their short on screen time, their chemistry is unquestionable and is more enjoyable than most couples in recent Hallmark feature films.

Harriet, after a series of events, finds herself in the story of Pride & Prejudice living out the plot of the book as the American cousin of the Bennett girls. Her involvement in their story brings many twists and turns, especially since she knows the story.

The humour in the movie is clever and current, with the lead actress being an absolute star in the movie. She delivers an outstanding performance that sells Harriet wonderfully. By the end, you're rooting for her and her quirkiness.

Moreover, the set and costume of this film is OUTSTANDING. Undeniably, one of the best dressed Hallmarks I've seen in a long time. They captured the time and location wonderfully, as if you were watching a feature film of Pride & Prejudice. It made me wish I were booking a flight overseas to experience what I watched in the movie.

Overall, this Hallmark is a fun watch with an ending that is different by Hallmarks standards. Even if you're not too familiar with Jane Austin's work, this movie does a great job with capturing the emotion, comedy and romance of some of the best.
