        Oh my!!! I love great stories with happy endings. This one wrapped up just the way I like it (even though it was a little too simple and easy in some ways. But it was a very great story. I loved it.

        Interesting how six members of the book club's lives play out over six months - one month for each of Jane Austen's books. I had two problems - 1) the movie was too predictable and 2) I would probably have rated it one more star if I had actually read Austen's books. I've only read one (P&P), and it hardly had a role in the movie at all.

        I found this film so dumb. I found that the acting was not the best.
