Movie: The Jane Austen Book Club

This film could easily be summed up in one word; satifying. When six random people find themselves in a book club, an unlikely plot for a movie mind you, personal stories from each individual unravel and are slowly knitted together in the end. If you don't mind me being frank, the movie is a bit cheesy, for lack of a better term. It's an enjoyable cheesy on the contrary. I was easily swept up in the complication's of each of the characters, rooting them on or yelling at them to make a different decision. I am usually one to judge a movie by its overall typicality, this one sheds a new light on how life should be handled; with care. This would be a film to watch on a rainy day with a bowl of popcorn and good friends around, that is for sure. It is a bit lengthy however, much resembling that of Jane Austen's books. I'd suggest having some knowledge of her books before watching this film, it will keep you on track with the plot and it parallels to Jane's books. Overall I'd rate this film an 8.5 out of 10. Satisfying.
