An average movie

Posted : 12 years, 11 months ago on 25 May 2011 09:27

I wasnโ€™t sure what to expect from this flick and, to be honest, I watched it mostly because Emma Thompson was involved. Eventually, she had actually a very small part in it so I donโ€™t think she was actually a good reason to watch this flick. In fact, the main character was played by Hugh Laurie who was at the time not really famous but it would all change thanks to โ€˜Houseโ€™. To be honest, even though I have nothing against Hugh Laurie, I canโ€™t say I'm really a big fan of him but at least, he had some good chemistry with the charming Joely Richardson. At the end of the day, I thought that this romantic-comedy was quite cute, I always had a weak spot for the genre and the story was not bad. Still, it was nothing really mind-blowing and the whole thing was very predictable. The main issue is that while the characters felt quite genuine and the actors delivered some solid performances, the plot was in fact rather weak preventing the whole thing from becoming truly remarkable. To conclude, I thought it was still a decent and fairly entertaining romantic-comedy and if you are a huge Hugh Laurie fan, it is actually worth a look.
