Movie Review: Only One Colin Firth !
Summary: 5 Stars
Four Play
What a great film. Once again, Colin Firth proves just how versatile an actor he really is. Great story line, and very predictable ending. Hemingway's performance is a bit disappointing. This was not the most hilarious of comedies, but it is a charming romantic film.

I just simply love Mr. Firth. Have almost all his films and have seen almost all his interviews. What more can I say.....Movie Review: Quirky, intelligent comedy
Summary: 4 Stars
I like this kind of quirky unpredictable comedy with so many subtle overtones, the kind that Colin Firth seems to have a penchant for. Its very hard to imagine a woman as attractive as Irene Jacob ever being attracted to a man like Mike Binder, but we're used to that in the movies, aren't we, ladies? I didn't much like Mariel Hemingway in this movie either, but I think she wasn't supposed to be very likeable. Maybe her character just wasn't developed enough, though, because I couldn't dislike her either. There were a few scenes where I felt she almost broke through and became someone real, but then it was gone again.
As for Mr. Firth, what can I say? He was first brought to my attention in Pride and Prejudice, and since then I have been astounded by his subtlety and skill in becoming so many men so well. This film was no disappointment on that score. Seeing him as a violent drunk was something of a revelation, but on a comic level, not reminiscent of his sterling performance as the tragially drunken husband in "The Widowing of Mrs. Holroyd", but equally interesting and entertaining. I like seeing him in every new role as I discover his films. Its like meeting someone and finding them to be complex and full of surprises. I have only watched this film a few times, though, so I haven't squeezed all of the juice out of it yet; but, so far, so good.
Movie Review: Worth buying if you are a Colin Firth fan...
Summary: 3 Stars
It's predictable, slow in some parts, seems to try too hard to be funny in other parts (and I have wondered for years how Mariel Hemingway ever earned the title 'actress')and all in all a mediocre movie. But, it's worth seeing for Colin fans and the great scene between Colin, Stephen Fry, and Irene Jacobs.
Buy it used and put in in your collection next to <shudder> 'Hour of the Pig'. ;-)

It is like a Woody Allen wannabe movie, but enjoyable. Loved the London settings, found some of the scenes with a counselor very amusing. Firth is as enjoyable as ever, even with a weak script to work with.
