Funny!

Rating: 9/10 (20 May 1999)

A marvellously rounded ensemble cast make this movie certainly on a par (and perhaps just slightly better than) 4 Weddings. Hugh is gorgeous but still only able to play 'Hugh Grant', Julie Roberts puts in a good solid performance, and the rest of the cast reads like a Who's Who of the best of British TV comedy acting. Spike is a hoot too. It really is a case of spot the sitcom actor! 2 flaws - the voice-over at the beginning setting the scene (I suspect put in there for the American audience) but completely unnecessary. And the ending - too over the top - again for the Americans who like their Ts crossed and Is dotted? Funny, marvellous - it made me feel very happy!
