Not my favorite Richard Curtis

Rating: 8/10 (30 June 2019)

I so wanted to love this movie. Richard Curtis has written some of my favorite films, and with both of us being avid Beatles fans, I was sure it would be a winner. I loved the concept, but I saw no redeeming qualities or allure in the protagonist until the very end of the film. Richard Curtis is the king of creating couples who have chemistry, but not this time; perhaps my expectations were too great. I'll think about going to go see it again to see if lowered expectations will make it a better film for me. For now, I think I should go pop in my About Time DVD; that was one that I didn't think I'd like, but it's become one of my favorites.
