Entertaining and light, with good performances.

Rating: Null/10 (18 March 2004)

To dismiss the film as lightweight fluff is not correct. There are times when the film touches on poignancy. When the scenes at the airport are run we get a feeling that we all really are in the same boat and at the mercy of governments who are too corrupt, selfish and inept to protect us by just doing the right or the smart thing. Several times during the film different actors were able to project their characters feelings very well, which is surprising given the fact that the film does not do a real good job of fully developing any one situation. Had the film only had four character or plot lines, everyone would have benefited.
The film is also filled with fine English actors including the always attractive and entertaining Hugh Grant, Colin Firth and Kiera Knightley. All in all a solid evenings entertainment.
