This film is terrible. The plot is slightly rusty, but works in a loose and light hearted way. That is the best aspect of it, everything else is terrible! The acting is shocking, the extras vomit out the lines as if they have never spoken before, and Hugh Grant and Sarah Parker seem as if they are reading the script for the first time. Nothing about it works.
We got about 2/3 of the way through it before we had to leave, it was too embarrassing to watch, covering our faces repeatedly in sheer exasperation at how bad the acting was, and the predictable story meant there was no need to stay for the end, so we went to HMV and bought some good DVDs for less than the price of the cinema ticket.
If you are a middle aged woman that is not an avid cinema goer or film watcher, so has no concept of acting or how shabby this film is compared to so many other, this film is probably for you, as they seemed to be the only people laughing when we were in there.
