It's simply pleasant

Rating: 9/10 (28 August 2006)

The movie is cute. And there's nothing wrong with that. People don't make good, cute movies anymore. It's well written thanks to Richard Curtis. Everyone's favorite British actors are here. It was nice how well all the different characters' and their stories meshed well without seeming too hooky or set-up. I am not a fan of Keira Knightly in this film. I can't see how two guys are in love with her. That seemed too fantastic. The music fit well. I was especially touched by the song "Both Sides Now" moment with Emma Thompson. I think the public sold it short because it was one of those films that leave you warm after watching it, not high or dumb like watching a million dollar action packed crazed adventure.
