Sexing Up Literary Classics

Romance Novel Literature SexyWe’ve all been there. It comes time to pick the Saturday afternoon movie and you really want to see that sweeping love story adapted from your favorite Jane Austen book, but as soon as you think the words, your friends or your boyfriend or that guy with the judgy face standing next to you in the ticket line start to groan loudly in protest and they think of fifteen different ways to tell you how boring they think the movie will be. Fret not, there is hope. These movies are actually pretty awesome and exciting if you explain them correctly.

First off, when you’re lobbying to see Jane Eyre at the theater this weekend or you’re arguing for putting Little Women next on the Netflix queue, you want to avoid words like “touching,” “heart-warming,” “tear-jerking,” “thought-provoking,” “classic,” “feminism,” and “literary.” Basically, avoid anything that refers to the fact that the movie once came from a book that may have been required reading in your A.P. English class. That is wrong. That is the element producing your friends’ groans of distaste. Instead, try our helpful, sexed-up descriptions of the canonical books turned super-awesome-fun-time movies to trick them. (Don’t worry, this won’t have any adverse effects.)
