Facile, puerile and bordering on formulaic schlock

Rating: 1/10 (8 December 2003)

Great acting by Emma Thompson, Liam Neeson and Colin Firth cannot save this movie which is ghastly and boring.
It angers me that the Director could take the movie-going public for granted like this after some pretty good earlier work.
Lew Grade was right no-one ever did lose money underestimating the public. The recipe - Hugh (Oh gosh)Grant, a number of "f" words, a "character" or two, a bit of sex, a few embarassing moments and bingo we have a winner.
I want my money back.
