good fun

Rating: 8/10 (3 November 2003)

I went to see this film reluctantly but with a semi-open mind(my
wife is a huge Hugh Grant fan + I lived in London for 3 years and I
get a bit nostalgic when I see Brit films set in London) and since I
did enjoy other fluffy films like 4 weddings and a funeral, Notting
Hill, about a boy, etc. ...but I must say this film was great fun ....well
written, lots of laughs and, I will admit, did bring a tear or two as
well.....maybe one two many vignettes (could have snipped out the
porno stand-ins who didn't seem to add anything to the film --but
loved Liam Neeson as the father and his relationship with his
step-son....all in all a chick flick that guys can enjoy as well..
