Definitely worth seeing

Rating: 10/10 (12 December 2004)

This is an excellent screenplay. There are several humorous and touching moments. It's so refreshing to know there still are writers with an understanding of emotions and relationships in the real world. The direction and editing were excellent. Superb acting by many talented actors, including the work by young Thomas Sangster as "Sam" which was as good as any I have seen in recent years. This is not to diminish the work by Emma Thompson, Liam Neeson, Colin Firth, Hugh Grant, and so many more fine actors.
I enjoyed this movie a great deal and think you will, too. It is one you will want to add to your personal collection so you can see again and again.
