Terrific

Rating: 9/10 (25 April 2004)

I found this film to be terrific in it's genre. I thought the dialogue was witty and the plotlines very clever in their interaction. All the characters were believeable and I found myself empathising with many. It helps I suppose that I liked all the actors chosen for their characters in this film. I thought Hugh Grant's little dance scene was a show stealer although his portrayal of the British PM was a little far fetched. I also thought veteran actors Emma Thompson and Alan Rickman did a fab job as always. Honestly I would watch just about anything with Colin Firth in it, but I found his character to be a little irritating. The jumping plotlines kept the story interesting and it was good to see younger characters being incorporated in difficult storylines. This film made me laugh out loud in many places and that is enough for a stamp of approval from me.
