Through each novel they find that the stories they read mimic real life, but as to their own perceptions of the stories and their own lives. The group obviously create a bond and though their friendship they steer each other onto the right path. Cute, engaging, and original.

Delightful, fun, heartwarming, fluffy film. I loved it. Nice escapism for 2 hours, especially in these recession times. Loved the friendships between the women and how they all came together and discusssed Jane Austen. I highly recommend this.

Not very Austen-esque at all... but Baker was adorable there.

As an Austen fan I liked the premise of this and there were some good moments. However, it was ultimately a bit too obvious and sentimental for me and I found some of the characters to be a bit spoilt and irritating.

A definite chick flick with it's "girl gets the guy" ending which is pretty tiring after you've seen the same thing in almost every single chick flick...I mean, come on, the characters could have had a little bit more of depth to them like the one's in Jane Austen's books but eh, it was very predictable and a bit boring at times. The only characters who brought life into the film were Kathy Baker and...yeah that's pretty much it.

Cute and easy on the eyes with Hugh Dancy. I recommend reading all the Jane Austen works before watching it though to be able to follow the book club chatter.
