It left me with a letdown feeling.

Rating: Null/10 (18 June 2004)

The music was great, the ending left me with tears in my eyes. So, what's the problem? First, I hated the Liam Neeson/little boy story line. It sucked the life out of the movie for me. It makes me sad to think an adult would have a conversation with a small child, and use the F-word so casually. At one point, in their kidding around, he called the little boy a Bastard. Do real people talk to kids like that? Another silly story line was the porno stars--- it didn't add anything to the movie, and took up too much time. The movie was too long anyway. The cute girl that captured the heart of the Prime Minister, Hugh Grant, was too fat? Big thighs? Pul-eese--- when she turned sideways she almost disappeared. Thin, very thin. And her character used gutter language when she was first introduced to the P. M. ? Hard to believe. Also, the Nativity scene was totally unnecessary and uncomfortable to watch. The best part of the movie was Kelly Clarkson's voice, and the nice ending. I was glad when it was all over.
