Best not to look too deeply


Jane Austen Book Club (2007)

Directed by Robin Swicord this film based on the novel of the same name stars Maria Bello, Emily Blunt, Amy Brenneman and Hugh Dancy. Six people struggling with their love lives get together to read all Jane Austen's books.

On the surface this is a pretty generic romantic comedy with some light Jane Austen references. Underneath this film has kind of a lot of characters that are not that nice and do some really questionable things which are never properly addressed. I am sure there is a really decent version of this film in there somewhere but this script is just a bit too light for my taste.

2/5
