What are your thoughts on "Austenland"? Worth watching?

I've avoided "Austenland" for a long time, as it was trashed by mainstream critics.

It seems to have developed into a cult favourite over the years, however, and so I plan to watch it soon. What are your thoughts on it?

I see it was directed/written by Jerusha Hess, writer of "Napoleon Dynamite", "Nacho Libre", and other deadpan comedies which confused critics and which audiences were slow to warm too. Is "Austenland" the same?

IMO Shran had the coolest ship in the show (the Kumari-class cruiser)

I generally don't like ships that try so hard to be conventionally cool. But I shall make an exception for Shran's baby.

"Remember Sunday" (2013), with Alexis Bledel

"Remember Sunday" was written by the writer of the Oscar winning "Rain Man", and so while it's a low-budget Hallmark movie, its screenplay nudges it above typical, similar fare.

It's also got a very strong cast: the ridiculously photogenic Alexis Bledel (Gilmore Girls, Handmaiden's Tale), Zachary Levi (Chuck), and Merritt Wever (Michael Clayton, Marriage Story).

Hallmark movies are generally terrible, but this one only stumbles in one scene (the obligatory "break up after a misunderstanding" scene, poorly written). The rest is strong, fairly cute and dodges some of the clichés typical of this genre.

I don't want to oversell this - it is ultimately a Hallmark movie, with all the saccharine gooeyness that this entails - but it has a reputation as the best Hallmark romcom for a reason. And it's got Alexis Bledel, who is basically cuteness personified.
