Oh dear, oh dear. An American Jane Austen fan comes to England for a theme-park literary vacation and is courted by a succession of actors playing romantic roles. Or are they? Frankly, who cares? What might have made a five-minute skit becomes an extended exercise in taking a joke for a walk round a country house before allowing it to crap on the terrace and then stamping it to death on the manicured lawn. Not even the reliable Jennifer Coolidge can save it. Austen would have been horrified. So would Bridget Jones.
