Brilliant! Really good surprise

Rating: 10/10 (26 February 2007)

I thought this would be your average run of the mill rom-com. I am a film school graduate & have watched tons of rom-coms with my Mum - so can kinda predict where they're going - BUT not this time.
What an interesting premise for a film. It was nice to see people with creative blocks or should I say writers portrayed on screen. Being a budding script-writer myself - I can vouch for/say that we (like Drew Barrymore's character) - do have our kooky habits, nervous ticks & things in our past that haunt us & drive us.
Hugh Grant is great & Grant & Barrymore ooze chemistry. I hope the film was as fun to make as it is to watch.
One more thing - THE FILM IS NOT PREDICTABLE - though obviously it has a happy ending :-) - Have fun like I did figuring out how it ends! Shall be buying this on DVD when it comes out!
