Crappy film

Best movie ever!

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I should have known what this film would be like because it was premiered on a hardly ever watched Cable channel but i was determined to watch it symply because it starred the Brilliant Kathy Burke. It just goes to show no matter how good an actress is if she is in a film that is as dull as this she will still look poor. This film is about a group of 30 something batchelors who's lives are intertwined while they sleep and argue with each other and in the mean time bore the viewer silly. You may be mistaken in thinking this is set in glasgow not London because of the amount of Scottish actors. This film is a typical case of casting a great actress in a lousy film in a roll that does not suit her at all symply to have her name in the credits to sell the film. I would advise you to steer well clear. 5 out of 10.

It could be said that "This Year's Love" is for Britain what "Friends" is for the USA. Three guys, three girls, swapping relationships and having a laugh along the way. What makes "This Year's Love" different is that the characters are flawed in a way that prevents them from finding true happiness.Though arguably an acquired taste, this is a BRILLIANT film. The acting is superb, the characters so very different. There are many moments of humour, though it is not laugh-out-loud, and plenty of sadness, some of it almost disturbing.So to the story. Set in London's Camden Town, we follow the Glaswegian couple Danny (Douglas Henshall) and the gorgeous Hannah (Catherine McCormack) on their wedding day. Danny learns than Hannah has been sleeping with his best mate and storms out.Hannah gets drunk and falls into the arms of Cameron, (another Scot) a struggling artist with a penchant for preying on vulnerable women. We then meet Cameron's flatmate Liam (Ian Hart) a naive, obsessive Liverpudlian who scrapes a living selling collectable comics. He "seduces" Sophie (Jennifer Ehle) a high-society drop out with child. Danny, meanwhile meets self-confessed "fat bird" Mary (Kathy Burke), but all three relationships deteriorate quickly.I won't say much more - you'll have to see the film for yourself. But be warned, there is no "Hollywood" ending, though some people find happiness. This film has lived in the Shadow of "Brit-hits" such as "Four Weddings", "Notting Hill" and "Lock Stock..". Do yourself a favour and see this film, it is far superior. 10/10

If you fancy spending two hours watching unpleasant, self-absorbed characters shag around and bitch about one another witlessly, see this film. If you want to see it done with style, rent a Barry Levinson film or even an Eastenders omnibus. I found this movie totally pointless; the lack of any sort of climax or resolution makes a point about the aimlessness of the characters but makes for very dull viewing. Ian Hart is terrific but Jennifer Ehle is woeful; I've never seen her play a scene without that smirk on her face. Thank God for Kathy Bates, whose blunt tones are a relief during this movie's posturing.

Words that fill me with dread: 'A Joel Schumacher Film' obviously, 'A Romatic Comedy from London', equally horrid. Yet finally someone has got it right - not Joel Schumacher of course.Peter Kane's salty comedy is something quite new, an unsentimental, contemporary La Ronde set in Camden Lock. His bone dry script is adorned by a magic cast, not least the indomitable Kathy Burke, who is surely now England's greatest treasure. There is a real courage here, no corners are cut and no easy, neat solutions are adopted. If we are a little disgusted by the smugness of the artsy characters it is more than compensated for by their terrible sadness. Very human, very witty and beamed in from a different galaxy from the one that Hugh Grant inhabits.
