|
|
I am not usually into what I call 'lovey dovey' films. But when you are bored on a Sunday afteroon and there is bugger all on the TV, it seems like a good option!
And I was actually impressed! It was very much a comedy as well as a love story and it is not just one love story it is lots all moulded into one film.
Here is a list of all the different story lines that go on in this one film:
* A newlywed couple and a best man who seems to be in love with one of the newlyweds himself but which one?
* A man who finds his girlfriend in a tryst with his brother travels to France and finds a new love even though he speaks only English and she only Portuguese.
* An aging rock star (a hilarious performance by Bill Nighy) attempts a comeback with a lame Christmas song.
* An oversexed and wild young man decides that he must go to America to find sex because the woman there will be seduced by his accent!
* The new Prime Minister of England (Hugh Grant) meets someone on his staff on his first day on the job and becomes enchanted with her.
* A widower struggles to help himself and his stepson cope with their new situation in life and also help the boy through his first encounter with love for a schoolmate.
* A woman is hopelessly in love with a co-worker but torn because of her devotion to her mentally ill brother.
* A couple meets while they are working as stand-ins on a sexually-themed film and must simulate certain very intimate acts for the camera and lighting crew of a film while actually trying to meet each other as human beings.
* A middle-aged couple faces the careless flirtation of the husband with a zealous employee while the wife (Emma Thompson) struggles to maintain her dignity.
So yeah as you can see there is a wide variety of story lines and there is some brilliant acting within this film and dont be put off by its title.
A must see!
