The Jane Austen Book Club Movie

Set in modern-day Sacramento, California, this romantic dramedy centers on six people who decide to form a book club to discuss the beloved novels of English writer Jane Austen in order to distract themselves from a life of unrealized dreams, unrequited love, loneliness, betrayal, frustration, and other romantic problems. Among them is Bernadette (Kathy Baker), the organizer of the club who has been married six times; Jocelyn (Maria Bello Bello), a single dog breeder; Sylvia Avila (Amy Brenneman) who has been dumped by her husband for another woman; Allegra Avila (Maggie Grace), her lesbian daughter who has several lovers; and Prudie Drummond (Emily Blunt), a French teacher who is unhappily married, and drawn to one of her students. There is also Grigg Harris (Hugh Dancy), a sci-fi fan and tech support worker who joins the club out of attraction to Jocelyn. While reading and discussing one novel per month, they find their own lives resembling the plots of the books.
