So I'm walking through the video store late one friday night. I'm looking for something that will make me think. I'm tired of seeing movies that bore me.
I'm in the comedy section, I see "The out of towners", "forces of Nature", other crap like that and then I see this film.
I know...I know, checl out my other reviews, not my kind of film. So I pick it up, and read the box. I usually don't go for romantic comedies, but I like Joseph Fiennes, so I did the unthinkable. I rented it.
Now if you knew me, you would know that I spend hours in the video store just so I can smile when I get home. I hate to be letdown by films that suck.
I popped it in the VCR and poof, 88 minutes later, my smile was from ear to ear. This movie is guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Here's why:
Without giving away to much, this film tells the story of love and friendship in London. Monica Potter plays Martha, an american looking for something. The Brits, which are all impressive in their own way, deliver great, hearfelt performances. Rufus Sewell and Tom Hollander should pat themselves on the back for playing so unpredictably. And Fiennes, should play this way more often.
I feel very priveliged to have seen this great little film.
4/4
