Leave your thoughts about The Jane Austen Book Club.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertChick Flick indeed! Guys, take your best buddy to see this movie. Tell him, "It's really cool, dude, even though there aren't any eviscerations." |
| Internet ReviewsSteve RhodesFilled with pithy and funny lines and bursting with subtle but wonderful characters ... undemanding of its viewers and very entertaining, the movie goes from cute to sweet to endearing. |
| Los Angeles Daily NewsGlenn WhippThanks to the game cast, notably Bello and Blunt, The Jane Austen Book Club will make for passable programming when the movie arrives a few months from now on Lifetime Television. |
| Capital Times (Madison, WI)Rob Thomas"The Jane Austen Book Club" is far from a failure, especially if it sends curious fans of the movie back to Austen's original six books. I just wish Swicord had gone back to Fowler's original novel once or twice more to see why it works so well. |
| Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)John BeifussUtterly pat but never insulting, 'The Jane Austen Book Club' offers cinematic comfort food for sympathetic viewers. |
| San Francisco ChronicleRuthe SteinAusten devotees are sure to lap up the central premise that her notions of love and friendship are as relevant today as ever. |
| Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)Linda CookAttention readers: Here's a dramedy about people who love words. |
| TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghNeither trite nor pandering, and that's what makes the film better than most of its peers. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeA perfectly cast, beautifully scripted, smartly directed little movie that won't get the attention it deserves because it'll be dismissed as a 'chick flick.' |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip Martin...light as a robin's skull, The Jane Austen Book Club is a precision-crafted, designer-tasteful technology for delivering comfort. Breezy and pretty, it flatters all who would bathe in its dancing light. |
