I liked this movie.I liked the interweaving of the romantic fluff with the tidbits of analysis of the Austen books (none of which I've read, by the way).
It made me feel smart while I was enjoying my guilty pleasure.
Smart guilty pleasure.
Even the characters who annoy you, Daniel, Prudie, win you over.
I appreciated how Prudie used Persuasion to reach out to her husband.
And, yes, it may be fantasy but even the men all became Austen fans too.
The premise is that 4 friends along with two invited strangers start a Jane Austen bookclub to distract several of them from their individual tragedies. The books then serve as the underlying narrative to the evolving relationships of the group.
