Netflix Stars - The Jane Austen Book Club


What would Jane do? Watch this movie and see her writings filtered through modern life? An interesting ensemble cast - I thought Emily Blunt and Hugh Dancy ran away with the movie, along with the albeit too short appearance of Lynn Redgrave. The others played their parts well. L has been such a fan of all the Jane Austen movies and adaptations, I thought she would like this. ANCK! Despite a rating of PG-13, I don't think it is interesting or appealing to teens. If you are looking for a chick flick and more in the mood to watch a movie instead of reading a (Jane Austen) book, you may want to consider it. I did enjoy the special featurette on Jane Austen's life. My rating: 3 out of 5 stars
