A magic pair in a delightful romantic comedy

Rating: 9/10 (14 October 2007)

There aren't many people who can light up a movie (or TV) screen anymore but Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore accomplish the magic. These two define "movie stars" of the 21st century.
This pair is simply delightful and I found myself pulling them from the first time they met.
We already knew they could act but who knew they could sing? Grant also learned to dance and play the piano for the role. For a guy who is now 47, he has more appeal than many guys half his age. The fact that an attractive woman 15 years younger would be attracted to him is totally believable. Grant is good-looking, charming and he has a heart. This is probably his best performance since TWO WEEKS NOTICE.
If you're looking for a fun and uplifting date movie, this will do the trick. A very pleasant film.
