The Jane Austen Book Club (2007)


Six Californians start a club to discuss the works of Jane Austen, only to find their relationships -- both old and new -- begin to resemble 21st century versions of her novels.

Talkative and unnerving 'chick flick' clearly adressed to a female audience - and quite disappointing for Jane Austen fans.

Maltin***: "Agreeable fare...Likable cast propels this easy-to-take material, with Blunt a standout as a repressed (yet snooty) schoolteacher."
