One of the Best Romcoms Ever

Rating: 10/10 (31 December 2012)

This little film is one of my all-time favorites. I never get tired of watching it. Everything about it is A-One: the script, the performances, the settings -- all of it.
Screenplay writer Richard Curtis (also one of my favorites) makes this look easy. His dialogue is authentic, witty, charming, and brisk. His writing is deceptively brilliant. Read through the screenplay and you will see what I'm talking about. This is British comedy and romance at its best. Curtis' other films are among my favorites, too, including "Four Weddings and a Funeral," "Bridget Jones' Diary," and "Love Actually."
How else do you explain a little British film that makes you understand, love, and want to be among the Brits? This film has a lot of heart.
Hugh Grant is at his charming best, and Julia Roberts is simply divine. The entire support cast, from Rhys Ifans to Gina McKee, are off-the-charts endearing.
