love is all around

Rating: Null/10 (2 March 2007)

This for me is a wonderful film with lovely performances.The film's title speaks for itself.Richard Curtis the writer and director manages to conjure up a truly wonderful atmosphere.The stand outs for me are Gregor Fisher who aids Bill Nighy's has been rocker in his come back.Andrew Lincoln's excellent performance of unrequited love for Keira Knightley.Hugh Grant's touching relationship with Martine McCutcheon as well as Colin Firth's developing fondness for Lucia Moniz.Liam Neeson's bereaved husband trying to relate to his son played by the brilliant Thomas Sangster.Alan Rickman trying to cover up for his roving eye from Emma Thompson in a career best performance-- you feel her pain.Kris Marshall desperately trying to find a mate at any cost.Martin Freeman finding love in a truly outrageous situation.It all gels into a film of great humour and feeling.I first saw it twice on the same day within the hour!!
