Movie Haiku:DOES NOT MEET CRETIERIA! American 30something (Russell) travels to Merrie Olde England so she can wear Regency gowns & pretend to live in a Jane Austen novel... if only for a week. The female version of Fantasy Baseball Camp??? A cute idea badly bungled by Hess & co-screenwriter Shannon Hale who refuse to populate screen with characters real enough to engage any sympathy. NOT YET SEEN BY RICH.
