Quote:

Synopsis: Everywhere you look, love is causing chaos. From the bachelor Prime Minister of the United Kingdom who, on his first day at 10 Downing Street, falls in love with the girl who brings him his tea, to a hopeless sandwich delivery guy who doesn't think he has a chance with the girls in the U.K., so he heads for Wisconsin. From aging rock stars, to a stony headmistress, to a monolingual Portuguese housemaid--love arrives in many forms, shapes and sizes. Here, ten separate--but intertwining--stories of love all lead up to a big climax on Christmas Eve, proving that love is the driving force in all of these people's lives.

Not a big Hugh Grant fan, but I might watch it if I get an itching for cheesy romantic comedy and nothing better appears in the meantime.

I like Hugh, especially in this type of flick, my only gripe is that it's not playing in my town this weekend and closest it's at is 4 hours away.

Just came back from this movie. I thought it was fantastic! I love romantic comedies and this one has a few things different than most. Plus it has my true love, Colin Firth.

Oh good greenie, I'm going to see it tonight with my girl friend, the reviews are so bad I was worried but I adore Hugh Grand and Colin Firth and I just have to see them together again.

This was a great movie!

I love Colin Firth so that's part of it but it was definitely an excellent movie .. very funny, British Christmas movie with a great cast. I enjoyed it a lot

Ok. I just got back from seeing this movie with my girlfriend (and believe me she didn't have an easy time getting me to go--I'm not really a "chick flick" guy) but I thought I should mention that this movie was supprising not that bad.

Ok, I saw it last night and I loved it. It was a little confusing at times, and some of the stories could have been dumped but I thought it was a good movie. (Hugh and Colin of course were adorable, wonderful and sexy)

greenie · 11-17-2003, 05:53 PM

I'm glad more people saw this movie. My husband (who doesn't really care for romantic comedies) said "ok it really hurts me to say this but I actually enjoyed that".

It's a little different then your normal "romantic comedy" for example the nudity in the one story line does up the heat a notch. I found it funny, but several other people I talked to about the movie were shocked and dismayed that nudity or that the word "f**K" was ever uttered. I walked into the movie figuring the R rating meant something was going to happen, but I guess several people had no clue what that could mean.
