Lots of Recycling

Rating: 6/10 (17 February 2007)

This movie is definitely better than the regular horrendous romantic comedies (i.e. Failure to Launch, How To Lose a Guy...); however pales in comparison to Hugh's other movies such as Notting Hill or Love Actually. In addition, there is a fair bit of recycling that goes on from these two movies: The dancing (from the PM character) and cheesy singing/music videos (from Bill Nighy's character) is straight out of Love Actually. And several scenes are very similar to Notting Hill: when Hugh interrupts a guy at a restaurant who has wronged his girl, the dinner party scene where you meet friends and family, and a lot of small jokes Hugh makes are extremely similar...
As a Hugh Fan, I would rate this movie above Two Weeks Notice (atrocious), but below everything else, even Bridget Jones 2. Drew was cute, but sometimes not believable - the character of Cora was done really well.
