Ticks all the boxes

Rating: 5/10 (13 June 2007)

I guess this is the definition of a chick flick! Unlike the majority of the male gender I've got to admit that I can quite happily watch rom-coms. Lets be fair Hugh Grant can only play one type of role and this is it. You can't really argue though that he plays the role well and will no doubt play a very similar role in a few months time. I also quite like Drew Barrymore, so this was a good film to sit back and just let it wash over you. I don't think I'd be giving the plot away if I said it follows the usual rom-com formula. In this case it follows a singer who's struggling to rekindle his former glory. It certainly ticked all the right boxes for me and for devotees of the genre I'm sure they'll love it.
