My thoughts exactly after reading the OP. Kate Beckinsale was the only English woman in the movie. And I don't think she was portrayed in a bad light. I'm American and can't say I developed any sort of impression of British women just from seeing Kate Beckinsale in this movie. Her character was a nice, pretty girl - nothing bad about that, or unique, really.
In person I've experienced British girls being very snobbish and over-the-top, and Kate Beckinsale helps my impression of British women in that regard. Note: the only British girls I've interacted with have been very rich ones at tropical resorts, so I'm sure that impression is not accurate to all British women.
