The Jane Austen Book Club
The Story is about a group of women-and one man, who get together once a month for a book club where all they read are
Jane Austen novels while trying to deal with the struggles of their lives. Each person is responsible for hosting the meeting at their
house on the night of their designated book. 6 books, 6 people, 6 months of love, loss, pain, and passion.
One of the best aspects of the movie is the fact that they threw a man into the loop and the effect that he has on the other women. Jocelyn originally had it in her mind that Grigg would be a good match for Sylvia who was just left by her husband of 25 years for another woman, then when Grigg starts to show minor interest in Sylvia she starts to get jealous and you can clearly see that Jocelyn has grown to love Grigg herself.
One of my favorite characters has to be Prudie played by Emily Blunt who grew to fame as the snobby british bitch of an
assistant in The Devil Wears Prada. I think thats why I loved her so much in this film, she was just so different then what we know of her. Her character is so fragile and passionate and just plain quirky.
The movie as a whole is simply fantastic. It exudes the power of friendship, love, sisterhood, and Jane Austen. I totally recommend this to those who love a good story and a happy ending!
This just a nice movie to watch if its a slow Sunday afternoon snuggled on your couch.
Until later, I'm just Simply Bitsie!
