Fantastic movie

Rating: Null/10 (4 August 2004)

First of all I hate movies categorized as chick flicks. I think this one may qualify as one but I have to say it has become one of my favorite movies!
I love that there are several different stories going on at once, but the difference between this movie and others like it is not one storyline suffers from having to share time on screen with the others.
All of these people know each other in some way, which adds to a sort of family feel to it. I thought it was great how they made it a movie where men are the focus of the film and not women and I found that very refreshing. I also think that each man portrayed his situation with a very real life quality. These things really happen, and they happen just like they are happening in the movie.
I loved the performances and I especially loves watching one of my über favorite actors in action, Alan Rickman. I can totally see his young secretary falling for him and trying to seduce him, I mean the man is utterly incredible.
Colin Firth was just wonderful to watch, as was Hugh Grant and Liam Neeson. I can honestly say This movie was a great surprise for me and I enjoyed it so much that the day after I rented it I purchased it. I would recommend this movie to everyone.
