Those who are familiar with the six Jane Austen novels that most (but not necessarily
much more) for this movie, but it's people who have experienced
book clubs that really get a kick out of it. For
audience that is not, this is still a pleasant (I hate to use the
term, but can not think of a better) Chick Flick.
As the title suggests, the story revolves around the Club meetings
book, but this is really one of the pieces of whole family. But first, the club
of books: six members are required to fill all six of Austen's novels,
each bearing the main responsibility for one, which will be discussed in six consecutive meetings
monthly at various locations (one of which ended
be a hospital room). There are 4 initial members who are known
while the other two remaining possibilities are drafted through the meetings.
BERNADETTE founder is a sophisticated woman who has been married six times and
supposedly has seen it all. His two friends are enthusiastic about Austen
Jocelyn, a woman of independent spirit and a dog breeder
SYLVIA by the profession and that on the surface has a happy family, but is in fact
on the brink of a separation with a husband who
are looking for a new relationship after 30 years of happy married life. ALLEGRA is
's daughter Sylvia, a lesbian. In these four set out to find two more members
, Bernadette has an encounter with PRUDIE, another Austen enthusiast
a husband who had just disappointed at the cancellation of his
out a business trip to Paris (in which she could accompany him), because
who has to travel with the boss to see a basketball game. Finally,
Grigg, the only male member and a "virgin Austen," Jocelyn
encounters in a bar in a certain degree of mutual attraction. Grigg
to be a computer geek and Sci-Fi fan, who according to the Austen reading "girlie books"
in the hope that Jocelyn will give Ursula K. LeGuin 's "The Left Hand of Darkness
" a try.
It makes no sense for me to go into details.
The public will have a very good idea of what they expect to see. The six members have their own difficulties and
situations and all of them are projected through the
Austen stories and characters during the discussions. Within six
them, we can see the relationships and interactions of conflict, simply
views on the novels of much more personal involvement. Foreign
these six members of the club's books, more than half a dozen other
characters playing out a number of plays life situation with them. The
the film is light, flowing easy and fun at times. In the end,
all is well solved because there is no problem in life and
relationships that can not be set right by a well-written letter, like any
deserve Jane Austen fan can tell you. At the end of the film,
would have enjoyed would not mind so much that it has not
all went deeper.
The performances are competent and effective. Playing Jocelyn is
Mario Bello, who is comfortable with both major (World Trade Center) and
not-so-major (A History of Violence) material. Playing women
outwards fully in control, but has a lot of feelings bottled
is not a big challenge for her. Kathy Baker, whose sensual person in "Edward
scissorhands" I still remember, has an easy time with Bernadette, a
facilitating role, both in the club's book and the movie. Emily Blunt, who
communicated with "The Devil Wears Prada" as Prudie good,
a troubled wife who is being neglected and is at a crossroads.
Hugh Dancy, whom we remember as the most Galahad in "King Arthur" (2004),
is the brightest spot in the film as Grigg, not necessarily because he is the only member
men's club, but more to do with their individual sun.
Amy Brenneman as Sylvia shines, giving a little more to the role of
betrayed wife. Maggie Grace makes an effective contribution to the whole cast
with its role as the young thing quite Allegra.
As I said, there are more than another half-dozen characters, but the
one that should be mentioned is the mother of Prudie
whose mere presence spells trouble. This is only a cameo role, but when it is played by Lynn Redgrave
, you get more of their money is worth it.
I like movies with spaceships in the explosion of choice at some point.
Also, shooting, sword fighting and violent death. Oh, and persecutions of cars.
And if I can not have this, then there may be at least some explicit sex
please?
And yet I loved this movie.
I loved the nerdiness, I loved the intimacy, I loved seeing it unfold
exactly as you know is going a. And the chemistry between Hugh Dancy
and the beautiful Maria Bello crackles off the screen.
know, I know, you could level this movie without much effort.
You do not even need that big of a stick. But you're not careful
.
This film is pure pleasure, beginning to end. I gladly relinquish one of
Man cards for me to say that. I see something with firearms in
to compensate, though.
