Not as bad as you would think from the title but Robin Swicord manages to use Jane Austen books cleverly in this film that she wrote and directed with an excellent cast including Maria Bello and Emily Blunt. Besides having the chicks takes on the classic novels, Swicord also brings the male and lesbian point of view to the table. The ensemble of veteran actors from Film and TV with new talents at first seems dubious but makes perfect sense which shows that Swicord is the top of her game like Jane Austen was with her books. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
