MCT:June 25, 2008The premise is so simple, but by the end of the film I loved almost all of the characters! An absolutely enjoyable film!

MCT:May 23, 2008hugh grant stars in a charming film about a englishman who arrives in a very smal town in wales to register a mountain, but its a hill, and all the locals who are devasteted, its there local claim to fame that they have a mountain, so try there be4st to charm him into staying so they can rise the levil, so it will be officially a mountain, great look at welsh life in a small town, in the 1920s i believe, and quite funny, hugh is his bumblin self, but great watching him get into situations, and the welsh way of life, watch out for the two twins who are old men, great looking as well, with a great look for the town, a good feel good movie all round, and a hugh grant film not many people know of, it came out just after four weddings and a funeral, but did pretty much nothing, a great little welsh film

The true story of a town in Wales during the first World War that works together to bring their beloved hill, to the size of a mountain demonstrating their civic pride and to us the viewer that a mountain wasn't built in a day. This movie though very charming does trumble along rather slowly, however the ending (though not all surprising - save for perhaps one) was well worth it. Hugh Grant was good -but typical Hugh Grant, but in this movie Colm Meaney takes the spotlight. It's a nice bit of South Wales History and a pleasant watch over-all.

MCT:January 31, 2008What the hell was this about. Probably one of the most pointless films I have ever seen. Read the title and you have seen the whole film.

It's a way back since I saw this now, and it seems to have disappeared from sight. Still, when it came out it was a pleasantly distracting film about group of Welsh who pile stuff on top of their hill until it is tall enough to be classed as a mountain. It's often regarded as being based on some sort of true story, but, alas, I think the whole thing is bunkum (though I'd so love it to be true!).
Since the film has cast Hugh Grant as the eponymous hero, there's no prizes for guessing the story also involves romance. And even if his name didn't fly like a yellow flag on the shipping lanes of drama (it's okay, I don't know what I mean either), the poster's a dead give away.
All-in-all a humorous enough affair, with a couple of pointed observations that are worth watching it for (like the names of all the locals listed at the beginning). -
MCT:July 31, 2007omg this has absolutely NO point!!!!!!!!! "oh we need 20 more feet to have a mountain" "well then lets add 20 more feet" omg so insanely stupid
-
MCT:June 5, 2007Honestly...almost fell asleep...after 20 minutes...decided nothing was going to change...turned off movie...

Hugh Grant is detestable, and this movie as a whole is unbearable. I wanted all of the characters in it to die, and after suffering through it, I wanted everyone involved in its production to die horrible deaths as well.
-
MCT:May 23, 2007I wasn't sure I was going to like this one - but it did not take long for me to get wrapped up in a good story!

This movie was rather disappointing. It could have been a lot better than it was. At least the scenery was beautiful.

Damn you Hugh Grant and you're clumsy charming wit. I love this movie, though I like any movie set in small towns in England/Ireland/Wales.
-
MCT:February 22, 2007
Very good. Funny and lovable and it's just such a good story. Filled with all kinds of love, really good.
-
MCT:January 14, 2007This film has two actors I really like in it, and I did see it a couple times, and I liked it, but I'd want to see it again before I rate it.

Quite an amusing little story and if you know any true Welshmen, I'm sure you will have a proper smirk in some places.

Low-key romantic comedy with a modicom of charm, Not as hateful as a lot of Hugh Grant's work, mainly because of the able supporting cast.

An inspiring true story about this mountain in somewhere around the South of a Welsh village. Couldn't believe that this is true, but it is.
-
MCT:December 18, 2006Oh my God, the name of the film is perfect for Hugh Grant, I wonder if they wrote it for him? Well i suppose the surname of the director gives away a clue on why he agreed to cast Hugh Grant.
-
MCT:December 11, 2006Well, this movie was fine. It's fun to watch, and I'll stick around to watch it when my mom puts it on, but I'm not sure I get it completely; but oh well. It's got an interesting premise, and I've learned all about mountain heights from it. *smiles widely*

Hugh Grant is the stiff Englishman who gets thawed by the warmhearted Welsh locals, one of whom has apparently fathered many of the children in town. The mountain has been downgraded to a hill, and the locals are trying to build it up before the English surveyors make it official, if memory serves. All ends happily.

A very cute, definite chick flick about a small Welsh village adding to the local hill to keep it qualified as a mountian on maps.
-

This doesn't get 1 star because of the Hugh Grant joke it reminds moe of each time I see the film title.
