Started off boring, then became a bit interesting

Rating: 5/10 (18 May 2007)

My parents love Hugh Grant's acting. Though I have not seen any off his movies, I decided to see this one.
The movie started off with a song and my god, the song was so long that I felt that I made an error getting this film. Still, I decided to see it as in Hindi films, the songs are longer than this.
I felt that the songs of this movie weren't so good and special as I expected as from the name of the movie itself, I thought that the songs would be out of the world. But I was disappointed.
Let's first talk about the acting:
1) Hugh Grant: I did not find his performance even that good. Seeing his face made me doze off a bit as his eyes were so drooping all the time. I expected a lot more from him. It should have been more powerful and even his emotions should have been more deep. Making a sad face doesn't mean that the person is really sad. In acting, when you are supposed to be sad, you should feel the role and then only the performance would look real. Hugh Grant's performance was a bit loose.
2) Drew Berrymore: She acted terribly in the first part. She was expressionless and looked so clumsy. Her acting was better in the second half where she had to play a much challenging role.
3) Brad Garrett: I liked his acting as it was not too much over acting nor it looked stupid. He had not even that much of a role and whatever role he had, he played it fine.
4) Kristen Johnson: Her performance was good in the first half where she had to play a funny sister but in the second half, she looked so blank. She looked too bit to play Drew Berrymore's sister.
5) The world famous singer in the film whose name I don't know: She was wooden, expressionless and horrible in acting. She was not at all funny as she was supposed to be and comparing her with Britney Spears was silly.
The movie was stupid in the first half where there was nothing so much but it became better in the second half where there was a twist. But till the end, I felt that there was not even that much story and it was another feel-good movie of 2007.
