entertaining romance -- 7 out of 10

Rating: 7/10 (12 January 2000)

This is one of those movies that has a lot wrong with it -- an underwritten Julia Roberts character, a cliched final 10 minutes, several music video montages substituting for dialogue -- but the bottom line is that Hugh Grant was able to carry this entire film on his back due to his immense charm. A solid romantic comedy despite its flaws.
