Thoroughly enjoyable

Rating: 9/10 (17 August 2014)

I only give this 9 because of Rachel McAdams. She was good in it but I have just seen her too much of late. The film was a real surprise - it was sentimental but it was never mawkish. Bill Nighy was his usual reliable self and I enjoyed the main guy's performance (I forget his name). I too fell in love with the actress who played Charlotte , what a babe!! It was well written and plotted though there did seem to be one or two plot holes at times. Richard Curtis seems to be still at the top of his game as a writer and now he directs with the same sure touch. I had read poor reviews of this movie and avoided watching it for some time. I have to ignore reviews in the future and make my own decision.
