Great Escape: Jane Eyre

Leave the man behind for this chick flick

It is probably fair to say that the film Jane Eyre is everything the man in your life
would pay good money to miss. It’s a passionate love story set in the mid-1800s, and
that’s about all he’d need to know before declining your sweet offer to take him to the movies.

So, how about going to a matinee alone while your guy defends the homefront? Then you can hunker down with your Raisinettes and diet cola, and, as the Vanity Fair review advises, “Get ready to swoon.”

And you certainly will as that electric connection between Mr. Rochester and Miss
Eyre lights up the screen. The two-hour flick – spoiler alert – ends well ... but you
already knew that, didn’t you? Isn’t it a blessing after Miss Eyre’s abysmal childhood?
