the cross cultural aspect interested me

Rating: 7/10 (28 December 2009)

like most guys i'm not into romance flicks the only reason i first rented the movie was because i was interested in the cross cultural aspect of the movie. other than that the movie seemed rather mush. It seems to center around the tired old Hollywood story line of English guy meeting American gal and falling in love. of course in this film the English girl hitched up with an American guy but that aspect was glossed over it. the scene where grahams girls right away warmed up to amanda like she was a favorite aunt was unreal. normally kids are wary of adults they never met before. when i saw mr napkin it reminded me of the kkk. eli wallachs role was interesting especially comparing his role in this film to the bad guys he played in the spaghetti westerns. but all in all this ain't a movie i 'd add to my DVD collection
