Where was the passion?

Rating: Null/10 (21 September 2003)

*Minor Spoilers*
The plot was predictable. The characters were undeveloped. The script seemed to have been forced out of the writer; five minutes of Hugh Grant describing the contents of the fridge? It felt like a desperate attempt to make the whole thing longer than it should have been. Rhys Ifans had a few funny moments as William's flatmate, but his character seemed simply thrown in to give us relief from an otherwise boring and unpassionate film. I would only watch this again for three reasons: Rhys Ifans, Julian Rhind-Tutt (playing a small but amusing part as a journalist) and Shania Twain's song "You've got a way". And even those three together cannot make up for this film.
