Give me some pride and prejudice on a Friday afternoon, and top it with a little bit of sense and sensibility. Jane Austen‘s own love story was as peculiar as that of her characters, and it is beautifully told in Becoming Jane, starring Anne Hathaway and James McAvoy.

This is one awesome movie, based on a real life story with an unusual ending. For those of us used to Jane Austen’s happy endings, this may not be our cup of tea, but it was the inspiration for 6 novels that became a must-read in English literature. The story of a great author who went beyond her social rules, and who was as human, as passionate, and as intelligent as her main characters, minus the neurotic mother… He he he!

I really liked it. And of course, James McAvoy is eye candy. ;-)
