The Jane Austen Book Club is a largely harmless, mostly enjoyable addition to the rom-com-dram genre, and one with enough cleverness to be commended. Heck, it's significantly harder to make original romance films than most other genres, so there's something to be said about a film that feels unique in a tired (but hopefully still surviving) genre. And perhaps the best way to describe this film is 'Jolly', it's just so pleasantly enjoyable, while not being overly complicated or intricate. I'll take it.
