The Film equivelant of a bunch of flowers from the all night garage.............

Rating: Null/10 (5 January 2004)

I went to see this film under duress. After leaving my other half on her own for the best part of 2 days, I thought Id treat her to the latest 'Rom com' from the makers of 'Bridget Jone's Diary' 'Notting Hill' and other such s***. I can say that the film does exactly what it says on the poster: in other words; Its a romantic comedy with lots of people you recognise. Cue lots of 'oooh its him from...' whispers when half the cast of 'teachers' and 'the office' appear. Everyone is a lovable, middle class, eccentric. Hugh Grant goes 'Um aah' a lot and gets the girl Alan Rickman IS Alan Rickman Colin Firth IS Colin Firth Emma Thompson does her usual slightly mad posh bird Liam Neeson is a sensitive and from Northern Ireland Laura Linney looks like Jennifer Aniston would do if she wasnt greek and has a surprisingly nice rack on her Keira Knightley looks nice so does Martine Mcutcheon in a role that further confirms that she cant act for toffee. All in all chewing gum for the eyes and only suitable for taking the little lady along to
as a means for getting in the Mrs' goodbooks again 10/10
as a film 5/10
