It's really goodactually

Rating: Null/10 (28 September 2004)

British productions usually do not seem to stand out, except for those Harry Potter movies, which were all based on books, but this movie was an original idea, as it was written and directed by Richard Curtis, and was funny, sweet, and just made you feel good.
The best part of this movie is that no such 'main star'- instead many fragments of equally important characters, have been stitched together, all bearing the same foundation of the alleged four letter word. However, this movie has THE best cast ensemble of 2003, and the fact that each and everyone just would capture people's hearts, makes this movie a deserving blockbuster. However, some of the best performances in this movie include Hugh Grant who was magnificent as the prime minister of UK, next comes Emma Thompson, whose emotionally filled character Karen, was so well portrayed, that she deserved something more than just a BAFTA nomination. The next comes Laura Linney- whose character Sarah, would appeal to any lustful working girl, and last but not least Martine MacCutcheon, whose shy/ beautiful character of Natalie, was just picture perfect. The cameos in this movie, would also make any person amazed. Elisha Cuthbert ,Dennis Richards and Claudia Schiffer's cameos were the most surprising.
*contains spoilers*Though certain segments were cliché ,( would a person seriously go through the torture of becoming thorough with another language- Portuguese for that matter, to impress a girl?, or would any record label even bother to promote such an obnoxious record like 'Christmas is all around' ?- may be in UK!!)- it just all seemed to just seem appropriate- all thanks to director Richard Curtis.
All in all I think this is a brilliant movie- and it Britain's best after a long time( Ignoring the Harry Potter's movies). It would be a great recommendation for anyone to watch over movie night, or take their partners to watch it with at the cinema.
