Take it for what it is

Rating: 7/10 (21 October 1999)

Looking for a "date movie"? This is the one. A pleasant, sweet and charming love comedy, for two relieving hours. I guess it doesn't take itself too seriously anyway so I won't be too harsh against it. Two beautiful actors involved in an intimate affair and all the rest of the supporting cast adding to the comic relief. I loved Hugh Grant's lines, every single word was perfectly chosen to add to the wit and attractiveness of his character. I didn't like the plethora of close-ups of the two leads, they made the film look like a photo shoot of Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts. Okay we know they're good looking but please! In conclusion, it is light entertainment but it is actual entertainment and not all films are nowadays, so it's worth seeing.
