Can
the most famous film star in the world fall for
just an ordinary guy?
I
unexpectedly loved this film featuring Julia
Roberts and Hugh Grant. It also features a scene
stealing performance from Rhys Ifans. While we
have the dueling cultures here, the film
definitely takes more a British feel. Therefore,
a lot of fans of American comedy won't have a
full appreciation for it.
It's a quietly sweet film...it's not as good as
it could have been. I think the film should have
been on the level of "About a Boy," but it
definitely doesn't make it to that level. I'm a
big fan of the soundtrack, featuring incredible
music from the British group Lighthouse Family.
They do a killer cover of "Ain't No Sunshine."
You'll also hear the pop version of the song
"When You Say Nothing At All" by Ronan Keating.
It's a great song, though I prefer the country
version. Overall, fans of Julia or Hugh would do
themselves well by watching this film. It's a
sweet, sentimental comedy ideal for a date.
