Summary: 3 Stars
This movie is one more amiable, if slight, entry in the seemingly endless romantic comedy derby. In this one, Monica Potter turns her special, Valentine's Day adorable bunny rabbit charm on three feckless Englishmen (a well-worn character in the romantic comedy genre on both sides of the Atlantic but increasingly annoying in its English incarnation), the best known of whom is Joseph Fiennes (who looks rather weaker and sillier than I recall him looking in most of his films). The plot is heavy on circumstance and happenstance and weak on character and emotional involvement. I never really felt that there was the slightest chemistry between the two leads. Ms. Potter, a sweet if somewhat cloying actress with almost aggressive American good-looks, works hard to convince us of her convictions which amount to needing to change her entire life from the ground up. Looking at her we can hardly believe that any of the things which she tells us about her terrible past are true. She is just too clean and too terrifically healthy and downright pretty to have had a trying youth and a less than boisterously successful present. As for Mr. Fiennes, we don't get Will Shakespeare, we get Hugh Grant Lite (thanks, Mr. Grant, for raising stammering diffidence from mere character affect to complete character status) a tongue-tied fool who just cannot speak when he needs to. The wonderful Ray Winstone - pre-Sexy Beast - is used here merely as a foil through which this backward-told tale is related. The unfolding of the plot is clever enough and the players congenial enough to make this film easy to sit through. I gave it three stars, but it deserves more like 2 ½.
Movie Review: Monica Potter baby!
Summary: 3 Stars
In a totally implausible coincidence 3 English guys, friends, bump into the same, very attractive American girl, unbeknownst to each other. This happens within a few hours of her taking off from Minneapolis and arriving in London - we live in the jet age. From this starting point the plot gets increasingly daffy. She flits in and out of their day driving them crazy, and in a flicker of an eyelid she falls instantly for one of them: Not telling, but if you watch the film you'll soon guess! The lighting is theatrical, and gives the ambience of Miami rather than London. The affection, love (call it what you will), which the three mates have for the American chick (Martha played by Monica Potter) is way stilted, but maybe that's what the script called for: One thing for sure, Monica Potter holds this film together with her delivery of lines, confidence in her role and photogenic presence - I guarantee we are going to see much more of her in the future!
