You know, Sammy, I'm sure she's unique and extraordinary, but... the general wisdom is that, in the end, there isn't just one person for each of us.

Rating: 8/10 (22 March 2009)

Watching this film, I couldn't help notice that life imitates art, with Liam Neeson suffering the loss of his wife, and now having to raise a young son (Thomas Sangster). He was, of course, simply magnificent.
The real attraction for me was, of course, Hugh Grant. No, I am not gay, but I love that guy in everything he does. His attraction to Martine McCutcheon was so funny and worth the price of admission alone.
But, there are 10 love stories in this movie, and each has its own particular charm, and fascinating characters.
Keira Knightley was absolutely beautiful and a real delight in her character; Alan Rickman played a softer character than I have ever seen, and was magnificent; there were so many great characters like Colin Firth, Carla Vasconcelos, Emma Thompson, and Billy Bob Thornton. Did I mention High Grant? It was all tied together nicely by a magnificent performance by Bill Nighy.
