Description
A group of six friends, in Sacramento, gather to distract themselves from loss. All are devoted Jane Austen fans, except the lone man, Grigg, who has an ulterior motive for joining the chick-lit gang. There's plenty of pride (Prudie), prejudice (Jocelyn), sense (Sylvia), and sensibility (Sylvia's daughter Allegra). Throw in a fair amount of persuasion.

Language
English or dubbed French dialogue with optional English, French or Spanish subtitles.
