Worth a second chance

Rating: 7/10 (15 December 2007)

When I first saw this film I was distinctly unimpressed. I found the number of different story lines made it difficult to relate to any of the characters or to really care about any of their problems. However, recently I gave this film a second chance and I was glad I did.
The film essentially contains eight different romantic comedies. The positive side of this is that there should be something for everyone. If you don't enjoy one story the film will skip to another one in no time.
The most enjoyable storyline for me was also the most unbelievable one in the whole film. Hugh Grant as the Prime Minister and his love interest the sweet and fluffy South London maid Martine McCutcheon make an odd couple but if you suspend your disbelief they make a charming pair.
If you have not seen this film yet you may or may not warm to it. If you have only seen it once and are not a fan I recommend you give it another try. The perfect film for a winter's night in front of the fire.
