An average movie

To be honest, it is a rather obscure flick so I had no idea what to expect from it and the main reason I actually watched the damned thing was because there was an interesting cast involved. Eventually, the cast (Romola Garai, Rose Byrne, Bill Nighy,Tara Fitzgerald, Henry Cavill) was indeed pretty good but I have to admit that I didn't care much about the story. Basically, it was one of those supposedly quirky romantic-comedies filled up with some rather excentric characters and even though it was all supposed to be charming and all, I can't say it really impressed me. To make the proceedings even more underwhelming, it was also a periode piece so the makers could explain the odd behavior of the characters with the fact that, back in those days, it was entirely plausible that they would act this way. Still,  the directing was decent and the actors did manage to lift up this material so it was still a decent watch after all. Concerning Romola Garai, it is a shame she never really managed to really have a break-through because she really had some potential which was pretty obvious in this movie. To conclude, it is not really surprising that the whole thing is so obcure but I guess it is still worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
