Good in its genre

Rating: Null/10 (9 May 2004)

the movie was definitely a solid effort when you look at it simply as a romantic comedy. The story was well formulated and I think that some of the actors did a tremendous job especially Colin Firth and Alan
Rickman. There are few great laugh out loud moments in the film but it does present important themes about love that are not present in similiar films in its genre. However there are a number of story lines where the plot is so cliche such as in the scene where Hugh Grant and his assistant pander back and forth in several meaningless scenes through out the film. The film is still a solid first directorial piece by Richard Curtis and is definitely worth looking into. I give this movie 7 out of 10 stars
