I never thought I would say this - the movie was better than the book! As a teacher, as a school librarian, it offends me that this is so. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and would see it again and again. I even started reading Jane Austen again! The movie was funny and the actors brought the book to life. It was as if the book was black and white. It was so boring. I had to try twice to get through it, but the movie was superb! See it soon!

I loved this movie, and it is one of the most romantic I've seen in a while. Many interesting characters, multiple subplots and lots of cross-references to Jane Austen's six novels. I had tears in my eyes through much of the last 20 minutes once I realized that Persuasion was going to do its magic. It probably helps to have read Jane Austen or at least seen some of the movies of her books, but I don't think it's critical to enjoying the story and acting. It is certainly a chick flick but one a guy can like a lot if romantic comedies work you you.

I have not read the book that this movie was based on exactly. I have read all of Jane Austen's wonderful six books, and the plots do cross over quite a bit. I really connected with the characters and had fun matching plots with Jane Austen stories. I do caution this is a chick flick especially for those of us who like Austen.
