Jane Austen Book Club — 

My wife had me put The Jane Austen Book Club into the Netflix que.  We watched it a few days ago on a plane ride.  I have to say I thought it was pretty funny and quite well done.  It is no Bruce Willis movie, but I enjoyed it.  The acting and characters are better than the story itself, but I thought it was clever and poignant at times with a few unexpected turns.  I don't think any action movie guy is going to sit around and watch this alone but if your mate suggests it, put up a small fight, make her promise that next time you can rent Die Hard IV, and then actually enjoy it.....

I read the book last winter and was unimpressed with it. Maybe I should try the movie version...
