is awful.

Rating: 2/10 (23 November 2003)

I am sure "love" actually isn't awful, but this film is. It is full of those cringing moments in which you hope to high heaven that some alien life form is not, at that moment, monitoring the people watching the film, in which case it would include you as one of the mind numbed masses. People will try to tell you that it is "entertaining" or "lovey-dovey" and even if it does have some valid points at its heart, the film remains awful. Hugh Grant, playing a good looking PM, prancing around only to be, shock of all horrors, caught by a maid is one of the lowest form of cinema I have personally seen since Matthew MCconaughey's hand was "accidentally" glued to a statue's "willy" (see wedding planner....or don't see wedding planner..please..) The dialogue was often "full blown groan" worthy...see "it has all the dark corners"...and "it's all for you"....and almost everything said between the writer and the Portuguese girl...whether it was in Portuguese or English.
This film is bad. Very bad. If someone were to start up an world competition for bad films...and my say meant anything.....it would be up there with...the aforementioned Wedding Planner, American Wedding, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Legally Blonde 2 et al. Absolute tripe.
