Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

goods116 Barely watchable romantic "comedy" with really almost no funny lines I can remember. Painfully predictable in all respects. You know in the first 10 minutes EXACTLY how this is going to proceed and of course end. Why do these scripts get approved and financed? Pass pass pass. IMDb for some inexplicable reason says I need to have 10 lines in my review. So by reading the next lines you will get a feel for how you will feel watching this movie (unless you are 7 yrs old like my daughter and I am sure this movie will be fascinating, as well as totally inappropriate): I am so bored I am so bored I am so bored I am so bored I am so bored I am so bored I am so bored I am so bored I am so bored I am so bored I am so bored I am so bored I am so bored I am so bored I am so bored I am so bored I am so bored I am so bored I am so bored I am so bored I am so bored I am so bored I am so bored I am so bored.

loui661 To the gentleman who commented above....if he watched the film thoroughly he would notice that the scenes were of BRISTOL NOT London. Bristol is a city of half a million people in the west of england.Can you imagine the uproar if a movie was filmed in Atlanta GA and Simonne said ARE'NT those are nice scenes of new york. Therefore don't associate all British films being shot in London you would be pleasantly surprised to find lots from around the country. great film by the way....just hurts when most Americans associate all English live in London and its the UK'S only city. From a Bristolian who is proud to have had a film made here.

eas0423 I just watched this movie and while it's not the best thing I've ever seen it was a cute romantic comedy. Can't say that I saw any of the goofs that have been mentioned -- but then I wasn't looking for them. Or maybe the DVD copy I rented had been edited/fixed. Some of the nice things from my perspective: 1) Nice location shooting - I think it was Bristol. It had a different feel from the usual London setting and was very well photographed for the most part. 2) The leads were just fine - it was good to see Dougray Scott sporting his native (at least I think it was native)Scottish accent(it's an American thing :)and I have to say I do like Jennifer Love Hewitt. It did seem like her accent may have been looped at the beginning (the tone of the soundtrack suggested it)maybe to give her a better chance to nail the dialect, but overall I do think it was her. And while I think she needs a bit more seasoning/maturity as an actress, she has a very expressive face and natural way about her on screen -- and that's got to be a plus. So, if you just want a kick-back, lazy day on the sofa movie this is worth 90 minutes of your time.

shupe-1 I don't see how people cannot like this movie or rip on Jennifer's performance. When she dresses up with the long hair she looks simply amazing and considering she's from Texas her British accent is pretty good. It's kind of funny listening to Jennifer talk dirty. She doesn't come across like that at all in "real life". How anyone could hurt this woman in a movie or in reality is beyond me. Anyway, the story seems to move along pretty well and the sub-plot with the trial of the famous athlete could be right out of today's headlines. You end up hating Sam, cheering for Archie and Alice, and even feeling a little sorry for Katya. I like the movie and may even let me wife watch it. Radish anyone?
