Bring over the popcorn, wine, and whiskey we've got girls night winner.

Loved this movie, watched it twice the 1'st day. The cast is great and although I wouldn't call it deep and moving it is sharp and has some substance. It manages an unmistakable Austin feel and is engaging.

It was fun to have an ensemble relationship movie, a flavor for all of us. My favorite character was Grigg, probably because I so rarely see this character in movies; he played the part of one of those great guys that we meet, know we should marry, but don't because there isn't any chemistry; well, his character is that guy with the chemistry; kudos to actor Hugh Dancy for being able to pull off this role.

All of the cast gave wonderful performances that pulled me in. The chemistry and strong performances brought the characters to life which is something I feel from books but rarely experience with a movie. Well done!

Absolutely loved this movie!!

Hugh Dancy is soooo cute and charming. Acting is great. Romance, lust, friendships, animals(!) all rolled into one very enjoyable flick. Just loved it.

Worth watching!

I got this movie because I love Jane Austen.
I was completely entertained. Nice job making a modern day story that uses "Austen" themes. The movie can stand on it's own with no knowledge of Austen, but it gives you a little guilty pleasure to identify the story lines. It really does make you want to start a "Jane Austen book club".

Excellent Film

This film is very original, creative and heartfelt. It is a romantic comedy of manners told with wit and charm. It is the story of 6 friends who are Jane Austen fans and all decide to form a book club for different reasons. 6 months, 6 members and 6 books. As each book is read and discussed we get involved more and more into the complexities of the real lives of each character. They are all very real, very believable and it is very touching how they all gain more inner strength by the continuity of the book club.

It is a romantic comedy but the comedic touches are right on and not forced the same as they are in life. My favorite characters here are those played by Amy Brenneman and Emily Blunt as a woman recently dumped by her husband and a very prissy unhappily married teacher respectively. The journeys of self discovery both of these women go thru is emotionally heart wrenching and excellently portrayed.

Jane Austen writes with a complex purpose in each of her novels and they can all be debated for days so to have a book club centered around her work as a basis is an outstanding idea. It freely allows us to see the real life drama each character is actually going through. The acting is superb throughout and the ending is very uplifting but it manages to not be formulaic. Not all things in life end badly and the way each character moves on is very authentic.

This film could be called a chic flick but it is so much more and I think it is a perfect film for all couples to watch together and discuss after. It can be used as a touching stone the same as the Jane Austen Book Club was in the film.

Watch and enjoy excellent acting and very believable characters journey through life and learn from each other.
