Decent

Rating: Null/10 (5 April 2002)

This wasn't a total waste of time. I got through the whole thing, but
mostly because I think Renee Zellweger is quirky and sometimes
touching as an actress. And I think some of her scenes with Hugh
Grant were sort of funny. The light tone kept me from wanting to
gag as I did the night before when I tried to watch Crazy Beautiful.
At least this movie doesn't try to take itself too seriously. I can't, however--understand how Jim Broadbent won an Oscar for
his role--unless I'm remembering wrong and he won for Moulin
Rouge--He has been twenty times better than this in movies like
Life is Sweet. He can do stuff like this in his sleep and it's just not
much of a role.
