    I don't get to watch a lot of British comedies, but after loving Death at a Funeral, I figured I'd take some time to watch this one, long hailed as something spectacular. What I found was a film with fewer laughs than I expected from a "comedy" and less romance than I expected from a "romantic" movie, making it a very strange attempt at a romantic comedy. Still, the movie is certainly good, well acted at least, although I didn't find Andie McDowell that impressive. I think what the movie struggles at is that, we get know and we come to love Charles and his Brit-posse, and yet the movie keeps steering a vintage Hugh Grant toward this American who only gets, what, a half hour of screen time? Maybe that's just me, but I hate it when a movie makes a love connection between two characters and it doesn't feel like it's the right one; if anything, it reflects something that just didn't work in the script and filming that just didn't become universal enough. I think the resolution was pure cliché (although, as Little Black Book proved, just because something isn't cliché doesn't make it quality) and I didn't expect that, and I think some of the most powerful acting was done outside of Grant himself. Still, did I watch the entire movie hoping for Grant to be happy? Sure. Did I smile a couple times and generally feel good watching? Sure. But, did I feel like it fulfilled the qualities of a romantic comedy, and did I feel like the movie's resolution worked? No, I didn't, which makes me wonder, at least a little bit, why this was a best picture nominee.

    A wonderful film. I love english comedies. So many wonderful characters and many, many laughs. A genre I'll never get bored of and this was the first of it's kind, so I hold it very special.

    It wasn't bad but I didn't enjoy it as much as a lot of people seemed to. Sure it was quirky and kind of cute, nothing brilliant though.

    I could give this movie two very different reviews really. One would say a nice little flick with some funny moments that left you with a warm feeling, The other would say that this romantic comedy lacked 2 things, romance, and COMEDY, there were a few easily forgettable funnies and completely corny lines. I also happen to think that woman can not act.

    so baisicly im really on the fence here, i thought it was crap but i did walk away from it smiling, so i guess thats something
