Fun time at the movies!

Rating: Null/10 (14 May 2001)

I loved the movie! Rene Z. is very approachable, very human and very likable. Tom Hanks comes to mind and no female actors that I can think of seem so utterly likeable. For those who complain that her character wasn't smart enough: she is supposed to be a bit of a stooge. Mini-spoiler - her forrays into public speaking were very, very funny and, again, I have a difficult time imagining anyone else pulling them off. You have to admit you were watching her very intently every time she addressed a crowd. Stop breathing time. Did it make me think she was unintelligent? No. I love her just the way she is. I loved Hugh Grant from the first moment we see him in the elevator. I was glad to finally see him play a different character. He is much sexier as an a****e than a bumbling pretty boy. I really enjoyed watching him. I am a Colin Firth fanatic because of Pride and Predjudice, so his appeal was immediate for me. I can see why other viewers might have found him wooden at first.
