Lost in Austen (2008)
A modern Austen fan walks through her bathroom into the novel, and Elizabeth walks out.
Everyone who loves this book has wished they could get into it. Let one of them in, and watch her make a mess of the plot.
You know the novel well enough to enjoy watching a fan knock it off course.
