An absolute tragedy of mediocrity

Rating: 1/10 (21 November 2003)

I didn't have great hopes from this film following the hype but nothing could have prepared for the sheer awfulness of dull script, dismal acting, with the noted exception of Emma Thompson, and the constant sense that you were manipulated. I am loathe to waste any more of my life on this nonsence, suffice to say that if this dross is the best that the British film industry can come up with, then we should hang our heads low and pray for someone to put it out of it's misery. Mow your lawn, someone else's or deflea the cat, but please do not waste any time on seeing this film; 2 hours of my life which I shall never get back.
