Good movie in need of trimming/focus

Rating: Null/10 (14 June 2004)

The British do Romantic Comedies so much better than we
Americans do them that I was disappointed in this film's structure. It would have to the advantage of the filmmaker to concentrate on
just a few of the tales. The sotry lines involving the characters of
Laura Linney, Emma Thompson and Hugh Grant's would have
been sufficient. Liam Neeson, Keira Knightly and the bloke who
goes to the U.S. to get laid were a waste of obviviously good talent.
there were at least six different movies here. Maybe the director
could take a tip from Mr. Tarantino and do a Vol. I and II. I do
reccomend this film nonetheless. Excellent music and the "aging
rock star" coupled w/ the cameo by Rowan Atchison were brilliant.
