Crap Actually

Rating: 2/10 (23 January 2004)

Too many characters, a shoddy script and simply not enough laughs. Very disappointing stuff. Half of the story lines should have been thrown out due to uninteresting characterization. Hugh Grant & Colin Firth should have swapped roles. Grant as prime minister is really stretching it. The US president confrontation is unfunny and badly written. Thank God for Thompson & Rickman who are the only ones that breath life in their underwritten parts. I rather had seen a movie alone about their marriage-on-the-rocks. Plus hats of for Laura Linney who does wonders due taking part in the worst storyline about the sole character who is severely punished for rejecting love. And this is supposed to be a feel good movie ?
