Light hearted but well written film flitting between UK and USA.

Rating: 10/10 (14 December 2013)

I gave this film a 10 because it is my go to film for Christmas time. I think over time many more people will appreciate this film. What is not to like about it? It is a film that is not offending anyone, at least as far as I know. It is a film with no violence unless you class Jack Black as beating on his film score writing piano keyboard as violence. It has two love interests in the film although the one between Jack Black and Kate Winslet seems a little too platonic, although Jude Law and Cameron Diaz get it on.
The film is well scripted from start to finish and I think the only reason the film doesn't get high marks on IMDb is because people who voted from UK are probably not too fond of the US part and people who voted from the US may not prefer the UK part. It is hard to please everybody but the soundtrack is superb and the comedic value throughout is also superb. It is definitely a feel good movie and for me at the end of the film I feel good. It has some ups and downs but overall it reminds me that we all have flaws and we have to overcome them to get the benefit of the human condition. Love it or hate it, watch it twice to double check if you really meant to give this really cool film a 6. If it is not a 10 then at least between 8-9. Come on! The film Valentine's Day got 5.6 rating and that was pretty rank even though it did have a mass of big stars. Flood a film with too many big named stars with small roles and you have a Nefertiti complex on the go, narcissism on tap, fighting to be the best and possibly failing with the script and the acting in the process.
But come on this film, you gotta love it!
