I reviewed this film when it came out and was a bit harder on it than I'm going to be today, as I just rewatched it last night. It's fantastic. It's funny, sweet, the love story is just right, Steve Coogan's character is romantically convincing while being properly nerdy and awkward. The joke-telling remains consistent even when the story gets more exciting - many jokes laugh out loud funny. . Lena Headey is a sexy, beautiful love interest, and the girl who plays Kirsty, the kid, is adorable, so much so that I spent the first third wishing she was in it more. It's feel-good from beginning to end. I love it. One of my favourite comedies.
