Surprisingly good.

Rating: 8/10 (28 December 2006)

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this movie. I wasn't really looking forward to going (my friend made me) but I actually quite liked it. It isn't the funniest romantic comedy ever (there were not that many jokes) but it will leave you with a smile on your face.
The acting was pretty good. I thought that Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet were well-cast and put in good performances. I thought that Jack Black was under-used in a comedic sense but it was nice to see him in a 'straight' role. For me though, the real star was Jude Law, who knew he could do romantic comedy? He was excellent! I've never really warmed to his acting before (maybe I was watching the wrong films) but he was so sweet and funny (in a heartbreaking way) in this film, that you couldn't help but fall in love with his character.
The locations are very film-like. The LA locations are very palatial and the England locations very quaint but it is a movie after all! Overall, it's a good film. Watch it, you might be surprised at how much you like it!
