Typical Richard Curtis

Rating: 6/10 (31 July 2019)

I so wanted to love this film. It has Danny Boyle, Richard Curtis, and the Beatles. It should be massive.
Don't get me wrong; I left the cinema having enjoyed it, but 24 hours later I felt disappointed.
Richard Curtis knows how to write a hit. Every credit to him. The trouble is, you know what you are going to get (Love Actually kind of ended it for me). It was just all a bit too formulaic. There is a big difference in my mind between a film with a great story and a film made to be a hit. This is the latter. A bit slushy. You will have seen the story a hundred times.
Everyone did a great job, but I have yet to meet anyone who is raving about it, or can be bothered going to see it.
My wife hated every minute of it.
