A Must See for Hugh Grant fans only

Rating: 7/10 (2 June 1999)

Slow, plodding, with a wooden performance by Julia Roberts and an engaging one by Hugh Grant. There are some nice moments, such as a tracking shot through time and the ending montage, but in every romantic scene with Hugh, Julia looks as if she just smelled something strange - her flared nostrils do all the emoting. Usually Roberts is effusive and entertaining on screen, but this time she is anything but.
It is Grant's best performance ever. Very touching. See it for him.
