A Clever Film with Two Great Performers

Rating: 8/10 (15 February 2007)

Hugh Grant's legendary gift to bring the audience a smile through clever dialog, a rogue's gallery of expression, and impeccable comedic timing are matched by Drew Barrymore's luminous performance. Barrymore matches Grant's magnificent charm with wit and timing reminiscent of Gracy Allen or Lucille Ball. The script is delightful, clever and very funny. The film editing could have been a little tighter to better carry the pace and humor. All in all it is a terrific piece.An unabashed romantic comedy with sufficient twists and turns to keep you guessing. A gentle film able to hold it's place in a less than gentle world.
