Awesome

Rating: 10/10 (5 June 1999)

I thought this movie was Julia's Best. There was not one part of this movie that I didn't enjoy. I thought that the script was refreshing, it was the kind of movie that had the whole audience laughing and crying and hugging at the end. The whole cast worked so well as an ensemble, with the roomate standing out, but with all the others standing out as well. I thought some moments were just beautiful, such as Grant's lengthy stroll down the street and the park scenes. The way that the movie combined comedy, romance, and drama together in one film was not at all cynical, it was so believable. Okay so maybe I'm a sap, but I thought that parts of this movie could have been biographical. I loved the soundtrack, with exception to the song that plays in the opening scenes. The music was effective at capturing the basic tone of the film. One more important thing- I like Hugh Grant as an actor again! He's so good in this that I want to see him act again. This is nothing like "Four Weddings. . .," which I thought was boring and hard to follow.
