Almost everybody has some inspiration in Jane Austen's characters: Bernadette is Mrs Gardiner of ''Literature/PrideAndPrejudice'', Jocelyn is the titular ''{{Literature/Emma}}'', Sylvia is Fanny Price of ''Literature/MansfieldPark'', Prudie is Anne Elliot of ''{{Literature/Persuasion}}'', Allegra is Marianne of ''Literature/SenseAndSensibility'', and Grigg represents all of Jane Austen's misunderstood male characters.
Each character mirrors one of Austen's novel plots (though not necessarily the same plot they mirror in the book...). Jocelyn enacts ''Emma'', Sylvia performs ''Mansfield Park'', Grigg does ''Northanger Abbey'', Bernadette prances through ''Pride and Prejudice'', Allegra stumbles along in ''Sense and Sensibility'', and Prudie finally makes it through ''Persuasion''. Each of them also tends to cross over into other novels as well...

* BelligerentSexualTension: Since they often stand in for Lizzy and Darcy from PrideAndPrejudice, Jocelyn and Grigg.
* ChickFlick: Mostly about romance - when it's not about Creator/JaneAusten.
* DawsonCasting: Kevin Zegers was in his early 20's while playing an 18-year-old high school senior. Perhaps inverted, since most of the cast play characters that, at least in the book, are generally about ten years older than their actor (though the ages were probably massaged to be more marketable).
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything?: Each character mirrors one of Austen's novel plots (though not necessarily the same plot they mirror in the book...). Jocelyn enacts ''{{Emma}}'', Sylvia performs ''MansfieldPark'', Grigg does ''Literature/NorthangerAbbey'', Bernadette prances through ''PrideAndPrejudice'', Allegra stumbles along in ''Literature/SenseAndSensibility'', and Prudie finally makes it through ''{{Persuasion}}''. Of course, each of them also tends to cross over into other novels as well...
* {{Expy}}: Pretty much everybody has their moment as this for one of Jane Austen's characters. HilarityEnsues.
* HospitalGurneyScene: Allegra.
* HospitalHottie: Dr. Samantha Yep.
* HotForStudent
* LipstickLesbian: Allegra and her girlfriends.
* MatchmakerCrush: Jocelyn tries to set Sylvia up with Grigg [[spoiler: but ends up falling for him herself]].
* MrsRobinson: [[spoiler:Prudie]] falls in love with her high school student. Hilarity does NOT ensue.
** Also Jocelyn is older than Grigg.
* MuseAbuse
* NerdsAreSexy: Grigg.
* NiceGuy: Grigg. Actually nice, though.
* ShipperOnDeck: Jocelyn for Grigg and Sylvia. [[spoiler: See above for how it ends]].
