Terrible, probably the worst film I have ever seen

Rating: 1/10 (23 December 2006)

I am not a member of this site but felt so strongly about this film that I joined on the spot!
I would have given this film zero if possible.
The characters are thin enough to see through, the plot is awful and Cameron Diaz's overacting makes you feel faintly nauseous. Kate Winslet spends every scene looking embarrassed to be caught in such a turkey and Jude Law wrestles with the dreadful Amercianised English. The plot holes are large enough to drive a van through and the scenes are far too long, insulting the audience by repeating facts endlessly. The film is also quite imbalanced, as it is meant to be a story of two halves, however, the plot mostly revolves around Diaz's trip and her gradual humanisation.
The comedy is non-existent, the only vaguely amusing part was the bit that was used in the trailers, however, it was actually much funnier and snappier when trimmed in the trailer!
The final straw was a casual mention of Cary Grant being from Surrey, as a proud Bristolian whose family actually knew Archie Leech's (Cary Grant's real name) I was appalled to hear this rubbish!
The only nice bit is that the clothes are quite lovely, but please, this is not a reason to watch such drivel. Bridget Jones or Love Actually it ain't.
