need background on Jane to fully get the ideas,
By
This review is from: The Jane Austen Book Club (DVD)
Quick tip. Before you start to watch the movie, go to the Special Features and watch the background history on Jane Austen. It'll help a lot in understanding the movie.
If you want, although it'll spoil some of the story, check out the feature on each character in the movie and who they are a representative of in the world of Jane Austen novels. If you know Jane Austen in and out, you'll get way more out of this than the average person. Having said that and this being a chick flick, I found two of the male roles the most interesting. Hugh Dancy as a lovable but bumbling sort of male dropped into this book club world of women is very good. Jimmy Smits (Cane!) is also surprisingly good as a husband who is lost and then finds his way (hopefully I haven't given too much away by saying that here). Yes, the female roles are good but I only found Kathy Baker and Emily Blunt to be intriguing. The other three I just found to be OK (and I won't say anything more on that). P.S. One bizarre thing is director Robin Swicord who appears on the extras looks uncanningly like an older Hayley Wickenheiser (Canadian women's hockey star).

Really Nice Ensemble Piece,
By Suzanne R. Barner (Victoria, BC Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Jane Austen Book Club (DVD)
If you are looking for some nice acting, a little snappy patter, great soundtrack, and a very pleasant way to spend an hour or so, get the DVD.

jane austins book club,
By
This review is from: The Jane Austen Book Club (DVD)
As a fan of Jane Austins,I liked the idea of people in a book club, that got together to discuss each book and what they thought was happening and their different debates and opinions.
