I recently rented this movie from blockbuster, and it was excellent! I am a Jane Austen fan myself, so I decided to give this film a try. I was expecting just a typical movie with some people in a book club reading Jane Austen novels, but this actually had a very good story to it. The movie is based on the book by Karen Joy Fowler, and the director/screenwriter Robin Swicord adapted it into a film. Each character is based on a character from one of Jane Austen's novels, and as they read the books, they work their way through their real life problems. The Jane Austen Book Club is a wonderful romantic comedy that everyone will enjoy.

Have you seen Becoming Jane? I just watched that and it was excellent. It tells the story of Austen's life and how her experiences influenced her writing. Lots of great references to Pride and Prejudice!
Yes, I went to see Becoming Jane when it came out. I really liked it as well. I just wish there was some way to know the true story about her life, and what events actually took place. There was probably a lot of guessing involved with the movie. But I still enjoyed it.
This was an interesting post to read, I am also a big fan of Jane Austen among some others. Thanks for sharing!
