Excellent Film

Rating: 9/10 (17 December 2006)

The casting for this film was fabulous, the actors seemed not only comfortable as their characters but also worked wonderfully together. The chemistry between Jude Law and Cameron Diaz is easily visible; the two share the screen equally with no one character catching the viewers attention.
Jude law fits fantastically into his character, a man whom all women whimsically dream of someday marrying. Both Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet are enchanting, as are the characters they play. Jack Black adds a little comic release to the sometimes sad scenes, and does so with suave. I walked into the theatre hoping to see Black cracking a few jokes but never expected him to be so well suited for the part he was cast. There was excellent casting for the other actors in the movie including Shannyn Sossamon, Rufus Sewell, and Eli Wallach. Miffy Englefield and Emma Pritchard are delightful, they fill the screen and are not over powered as happens when young children are on film.
I give the film 4.5 stars out of 5.
