Las night, my cute neighbor-Andrea-and I saw: "Becoming Jane." Author Jane Austen (Anne Hathaway) eventually became famous for writing epic novels like Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility, but as a young woman in the 18th century, writing was not a respectible goal for a young woman. With the entire world telling her she can't achieve her dreams, Jane meets and falls in love with a charming rogue, Tom Lefroy (James McAvoy), who inspires her to write the books generations have come to know and love. I thought it was a sweet and charming movie, though semi fictional. Jane actually only meets Tom once, but in the movie, they fall in love, only wanting to be married, but are unable to, due to her pennyless circumstances. Jane Austen, later, ends up dying at 41 from a weird disease. To have a night out, without children, and a large Diet Coke, I was thrilled to just enjoy a good movie. Rating: A-
