Works better than you might think

Rating: Null/10 (19 March 2004)

The title of this film is pretty explanatory and I thought that this film was fantastic! I went into this film quite sceptical - not being sure how a director could use at least 6 different stories in one film. But if there was ever a director who could do it - it was Richard Curtis. Hugh Grant was so funny as the prime minister - and a particular scene where he dances around 10 downing street is hilarious. The most touching part i felt was Laura Linney and the relationship that she has with her brother. I was clost to tears. Richard Curtis doesnt lose sight of any of the stories and he entwines them beautifully. If you come out of this film feeling depressed, then there is definitely something wrong with you. The only word of warning is that this is a fully blown chick flick, and doesnt try to be anything else. I would give this film 9/10
