Very well done. Hugh Grant plays against type as a thoroughly-selfish individual who finds redemption through his (initially unwilling) friendship with a young boy. This was extremely funny for those brought up in the English tradition of irony and self-deprecation so it may lose its audience on the other side of the Atlantic (except in New York and San Francisco): my companion, though, was Romanian and she found it hilarious - so I may be taking too-jaundiced a line there. Highly recommended: go and see it for no other reason than you'll be glad you did.
