Delightful

Rating: 9/10 (9 November 2015)

The best Julia Roberts film? OK, so I've only seen two others. Here, her character is a famous film star, so it shouldn't be too hard to do? But the acting is superb throughout, and the writing is clever and funny. The support cast are great. Easily a ten.
Anna (Roberts) is in London and goes to a street market, there, she gets clumsily bumped into by William (Grant) and he offers to try and clean the orange juice from her T-shirt. And friendship proceeds of course.
There is an outstanding performance by Gina McKee as the wheelchair bound wife of Williams friend and other great acting by the publicist and others. But... Rhys Ifans plays Spike, the flatmate of William. Ifans is a great actor, but here, his character is primo-jerk and this reflects badly on Ifans? I don't know why the writers have made him so unlikeable.
Something really different and really good is the mini-essay on the subject of why western males are so infatuated by women's breasts. Of course there are plenty of movies that flash a bit of flesh, but nobody ever discusses the matter in a serious way? Here, they do, briefly, and very cleverly. Well done!
