Flirting, unsuccessfully, With Success, 1 November 2009
7/10
Author: bml84 from United Kingdom

This is one of those curious little films: nice plotting, engaging characters, good performances, quirky humour and pleasant atmosphere.

And Yet, it doesn't quite work.

There's nothing actually wrong with any of it. But somehow the whole is less than the sum of the parts. A pleasant time passer. But somehow it manages to feel more like a very good afternoon play. In a way it missed its mark by going to cinema as I think it would have found a welcome home in the TV schedules. It feels like an appropriate production for Christmas, like the Emma Watson 'Ballet Shoes' piece.

Well worth watching if you enjoyed fare like 'Gregorys Girl'.

In passing, Holly is excellent. A very attractive, rather intense girl missed from our TV schedules after good performances in 'The Bill' and 'Casualty' she needs a break into a big time vehicle.

Sadly, this isn't it.
