Meh.

The trailer for the upcoming film adaptation of Karen Joy Fowler's The Jane Austen Book Club is now available on the web.

I was underwhelmed by this book (although I know and respect several people that loved it), and I think I'll skip the movie. The trailer features a lot of people that look good on camera, but I don't see anything particularly Austen-esque about it. Frankly, between this genteel potboiler, the ridiculous Becoming Jane "biopic", and those three dopey TV adaptations of Mansfield Park, Persuasion, and Northanger Abbey, 2007 has been rough on Miss Austen's books.
