Contrived nonsense.

Rating: 1/10 (2 August 2005)

This is exactly the type of movie that gives all men the shudders when the phrase "romantic comedy" is uttered. Although made in England, this drivel exhibits all the worst aspects of the contrived nonsense that the Ephron sisters, and indeed many others in Hollywood, have become so adept at providing. After being forced to sit through it by my (no longer) girlfriend, I wanted to punch something in order to release the stress built up by the 90 continuous minutes of intelligence-insulting twaddle that this film presents. The worst aspect of the experience was seeing many of the best actors on the planet wasting their talent along with my time. The only mildly amusing character is Bill Nighy's rebelliously aging rock star, whilst the rest of the cast merely struggle bravely through this unfunny cliché-ridden disaster.
