a lovely movie that makes you smile and cry

Rating: 10/10 (11 November 2003)

My daughter and I went to see this today and we both laughed and cried so much we cried our makeup off. The movie does have a few too many story lines going for it. I would have preferred they spend more time on the Rickman-Thompson story, the Colin Firth story and the Hugh Grant story. All the actors were wonderful in their roles and the little boy who played Liam's son was adorable. The aging rocker story was hilarious (but a little sad too). We both left wanting to see it again and anxiously awaiting the DVD release. We went straight to a record store and bought the soundtrack which is OK but left out some of the songs they used in the movie. They did a great job matching the songs to the stories on screen. See it with someone you love!!
