Best movie of this year hands down!

Best movie ever!

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Then charming romantic comedies are just not your thing. The opening music video send-off of 80s boy bands is worth the price of admission. Hugh Grant seems to have no problem poking fun at himself. And coming from a family of professional musicians, I love the inside joke about the grand piano. (People come into his apartment and want to off-load their baggage on top of it , a no-no.) The entire cast - who doesn't love Drew Barrymore? - and the whole movie stands up to repeat viewings.

Millennium romantic comedies tend to follow the formula of a boy and girl seeming neither right for each other nor likely to express initial interest in each other soon forced in shallow and contrived circumstance to spend time together on a project they did not choose and along the way realize they are matched. In this unique movie of this genre television personalities Kristen Johnson and Brad Garrett play scenes with movie personalities Drew Barrymore and Hugh grant who are shorter and more vivacious than they are This creates a visual and sound track interest purely the director's and photographer's genius which keep the familiar story line moving with interest and fascination. There is excellent work in the pop culture aspect well played and performed including Hugh Grant as a member.

Love the film. But, it has one scene (breakfast) which must have been filmed when the continuity person was terminated and before the new person was hired.Watch the scene. It was shot at least three times (possibly four) and cut together. Watch the plates, glasses, hands, sitting forward or sitting back, etc. All of this is screen center and by the primaries, not atmosphere. Seriously funny to watch. The largest number of continuity errors I have ever seen in a single scene.Other than that, the overall film is a fun watch.Oh, and don't stop watching... the story continues through the credit roll.

The first time I saw this, I enjoyed the comedy, but had a hard time believing that love could develop between a man and woman of different generations. After seeing it a second time, though, I caught many of the details that I had missed the first time and it made more sense. That, of course, heightened my enjoyment even more. Now the premise doesn't seem all that far fetched, after all. Hugh's and Drew's fine singing voices were a pleasant surprise, too. I advise everyone to see this movie at least twice. You'll probably find yourself singing the spotlighted songs for many days afterward. Excellent writing, directing, and acting.
