Becoming Jane —

Becoming Jane is the fictionalized tale of Jane Austen's affair with Tom Lefroy. It is one of the best movies I have seen recently. From the time Jane and Mr. Lefroy meet they butt heads like Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice. If fact this movie has a lot of similarities to Pride and Prejudice, perhaps Ms. Austen's most famous and loved novel. Eventually the pair come to see eye to eye and fall for each other but can their love last when his uncle does not approve of the girl. Everyone knows that unlike Pride and Prejudice, these to love birds don't get their happy ending but it's worth watching the movie and seeing what they go through. You will definitely understand why all of Jane's heroine always get their happy endings in the end of her books.
