Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Austenland (2013)

Well, it would probably win the award for "most girly movie" I’ve ever seen. That's something, right?

There just didn't seem to be much concern with quality in any way. The strokes were broad, the jokes were lazy, and everything felt kind of cheap. Also, I spent the entire movie wondering how Tom Hiddleston wandered into this piece of crap. But, it appears that either 1) poor Hiddleston (image on left) only happens to share a face with JJ Feild, the guy who was actually stuck in this film, or 2) Hiddleston was prescient enough to know this would be one of those movies where requesting a pseudonym in the credits is prudent.
