The movie perhaps wasn't all that brilliant, but it wasn't all that bad after all...
It was actually fun.
Fun to see Collin Firth making fun of himself, also Oliver Platt being pathetic as the head of the city of Hope...
The chemistry was there. The script wasn't just superb, but the actors make it up to you.
It's a change from the Briget Jones's Diary, where Firth has to compete with Grant to get a girl. The girls are competing with each other to get him for a change.
I've enjoyed it. So has my wife.
Good to watch on DVD on a late evening. It'll cheer you up.
