Such a great film!

I just watched this for the first time and was absolutely blown away. The way it was structured, the writing, etc ... such a good film!
And I'm not usually a fan of romantic comedies.

Potter & Fiennes had such great charisma - pleasure to watch.
Potter is such an underrated talent, it's a shame she isn't offered more roles like this, instead of films like HEAD OVER HEELS or ALONG CAME A SPIDER

(Although I did like her in 'I'm with Lucy')

I loved this movie and I'm going to see it again soon

This movie is much better than any Julia Roberts romantic comedy (exept Notting Hill). Fantastic!

it was a real enjoyable film... I didn't want to get off my couch to go the bathroom because I was afraid I'd miss a seen with Joseph and Monice, casue they really did have a lot of chemistry.

What about Rufus Sewell, ok he doesn't have a huge part and the fight scenes were hilarious but this was the first time I had seen a film with him in and now I am hooked. I have seen Nine of his films and he is superb in all off them

Make that eleven films now.

I am so far beyond eve enjoying chick flicks, but this one had me from the start. It was probably the accents, but I saw all three leading men in a different light in this lighter fair. And Monica Potter was good too, best I've seen from her (and frightening like Julia Roberts too...). It was just a very enjoyable experience, and I'm not ashamed to say it.

heh.. Yeah this movie is truly great it is one of my favourite movies.
The only reason I watched this movie is because I have been told that I look a bit like Joseph Finnes and the movie is a comedy, also Monica potter is a very fine woman.
I watched it and the movie feels a lot like my life, I grew up with childhood friends that I have grown apart from but still meet, I am quite sensitive but I do not really show it, and even thou some people annoy me I will still help them, yeah I’ll stop here but there is still a lot that I feel that I can relate to.
So I’m just waiting for a woman from the other side of the globe to come into my life…

A very good movie.

Imagine that you have been told that you look like a certain celeb and that celeb is in a movie living a life that you can relate to.
