It is a truth universally acknowledged, that filmmakers are determined to squeeze as much commercial value as possible from our dear Jane. (sigh)

After “Becoming Jane”, here comes another remotely relevant work: The Jane Austen Book Club.

I’ve read the book from which it was adapted few months ago, and I didn’t find it interesting at all. Actually it was a novel divided into six parts, in which every chapter centered on one of Austen’s works and one of the JA book club members. It turned out that I didn’t really care about what happened to the characters…and their discussions on JA’s works were quite superficial… (maybe because I’m too familiar with the works of JA, haha…)

Anyway, I’ve watched the trailer at the above site and it seems that the movie is better than the book!? Cos’ the unnecessary details have been cut? The “what would Jane do?” part was quite hilarious, and I found the black-haired girl who played Prudie in the film quite adorable…let’s wait till the official release of the film.
