Makes me embarrassed to be British

Rating: 1/10 (26 November 2003)

This film is simply terrible. It tries to be romantic, and fails miserably. It tries to be funny - ditto. There are a number of key failures - One: do we really need this many characters, of which only one moved me to any degree, that being the American women with the mentally disturbed brother? Two: the cliche-o-meter almost hits the roof. Say no more. Three - maybe its because I'm a bloke, but i just didn't care less what happened to anyone - there was zero character development. And finally, there was no reason whatsoever why the characters they all need to be somehow interrelated, as it adds nothing at all to the film like, for example, Pulp Fiction succeeds in doing. All in all, a true reflection on what a British romantic comedy should not be.
