Not easily categorized, as I laughed a lot, cried a couple of times, and felt quite reflective when it was all over. A wonderful winner.
A more serious film than expected. Grant plays his typical “Manchild” makes good role. Acting is good. Hoult and Collette steal the show.
I love when a movie comes along that I don’t want to see, does nothing I expect it to do and makes me think about life, and love the movie.
Entertaining film with real British sense of humour.
Oh to Hugh Grant making the cutest movies of the 90s and 2000s. I love this one!
Quietly stunning, a must watch feel good film for everyone
I saw this a very long time ago, but I remember liking it. Who knew Nicholas Hoult would turn into the superstar he is today!
Not phenomenal, but it has Hugh in so thats enough for me
Its no Love Actually but its still an amazing film
A pretty great adaptation of the book. Great performances and excellent soundtrack.
