Jane austen fans will get the joke in the title; one of the characters actually makes lotions from flowers. Sisters elinor and marianne (ashley williams, marla sokoloff) are on their own when dad goes to prison for fraud. There's a bit of tongue in cheek.. at one point, the interviewer crumples up the daughter's resume and just tosses it in the trash. Pretty rude. And it's sometimes confusing... people rarely say anyone's name, so it's difficult to know who anyone is. This is about a family trying to stick together. Mom seems to spend all her time with the third sister, who is quite ill, so we don't see much of them. The story is a fun update to austen's older story. Some good acting, some bad acting. Directed by brian brough. Although the writing credit says written by jennifer jan and brittany wiscombe, they do acknowledge jane austen.

update to the jane austen novel
Not so bad
Even if the film is predictable and nothing to do with JA¨s book, it has its moments of fun. What I found most distracting in the movie is that Ashley Williams wears a necklace with an A THE WHOLE MOVIE, when her character¨s name starts with an E. The dialogues are unbelievable put in the mouth of grown ups, which by the way, behave like teen agers.
A solid 8
A great story about two sisters dealing with adversity. The direction is solid, and the acting is good. I was entertained from start to finish.
