As five women and one enigmatic man meet to discuss the works of Jane Austen, they find their love lives playing out in a 21st century version of her novels. Sylvia (Amy Brenneman), is shocked when her husband Daniel (Jimmy Smits), leaves her after 20 plus years and three children. Jocelyn (Maria Bello), her unmarried best friend, distracts herself from her unacknowledged loneliness by breeding dogs. Prudie (Emily Blunt) is a young French teacher, in possession of a worthy husband yet distracted by persistent fantasies about sex with another man. The many times married Bernadette (Kathy Baker) develops a yearning for one more chance at happiness. Beautiful, risk-taking Allegra (Maggie Grace), Sylvia and Daniel's lesbian daughter, has quit talking to her lover. And Grigg (Hugh Dancy), a young science fiction fan and computer whiz, seems horribly both out of place and obliviously at ease as the only man to be invited into the book circle.

and I dont mean that in a wishy washy kinda why, but it is a film about hope and love, which is what is pretty much behind most Jane Austen novels! and I dont mean that in a bad way either, I love Austen!
This film is a quirky loveable little film, its sweet and temptuous aswell as full-bodied as all the charcters are complex and mixed! Gives u a warm, fuzzy feeling at points as all of the charcters re-discover things about themselves, as well as eachother!
The film also does what it says on the tin, it is primarily based around the novels of Jane Austen herself, and we get views from each of the charcters on what they think about each of the books, but also how the novels shape the lives of the people who read them and how they reach out and touch them!..........see, fuzzy! hehe
A Real Gem!
