A warm original romantic story!

Rating: 8/10 (27 February 2004)

I expected this movie to be good becuase i have read so many positive reviews, so i went to see it, and it got to admit it's one of the best romantic comedies i have seen in a while, the strength is really the original screenplay, a very warm and good story with a nice feeling too it, also the comedy of this movie doesn't go into being stupid like the usual case is with romantic comedies, so with a combination of a warm and good story and intelligent humour i can definitely say i love this movie, actually.
The movie has a great cast too and they really do a good job displaying the complications of love, for once in a movie there people who aren't perfect, complications of love, the avkward moments love can create is displayed so well here you can totally relate to it, it's so realistic and so well done, and i just thought to myself that this could just as well be me.

The only real issue with this movie are the many on-going love stories at the same time, maybe if they had removed just a few of the many main characters, at times i felt confused over it all and it made the movie less intense of each person than it could have been, but in the end everything worked out, i especially loved the guy going to america, nice to see a british movie that can make fun of themself while displaying america as a strange country as well, everybody whom have seen this movie will know what i'm talking about if i say "Bottle" hehe.
Out of the love stories i preferred the one with Keira Knightley really the best, and the moment with the carol singers and the friends confession was so original and warm i couldn't help it to admire both these two in that exact moment, a well done scene, best of the movie, and a scene that is doomed to be copied in future movies.
I could praise this movie so a while becuase it's been a while since i've seen a movie that had an aim of being an romantic comedy, and then it wasn't even stupid, it's nice to see that hollywood's dumb romantic comedies haven't taken over england yet, damn well done!
8/10
