Viewing Notes
This would be a better viewing experience if you’re familiar with all of Austen’s books. Each book is touched on during the course of this, dare I say, “chick flick”, and relate to personal stories of each of the characters. Of course I’m not familiar with all the books and only vaguely familiar with some of the titles yet this was a okay watch despite really not being my thing. The Star Wars analogy was mildly funny. Mostly recommended for Austen fans.
