While the premise of the story is a bit far-fetched, this is a love story and aren't ALL love stories of late from Hollywood, that way? And it is a comedy, and certainly has laughs in it. Julia Roberts does this role as many of her other roles. If you like her, you will like this. If not well.... But she looks as good as she ever does, and she gets to play herself, so to speak. The same can be said of Hugh Grant. He is a likeable character in this, and can be endearing. I like the role of Rhys Ifans. He plays Spike, the somewhat primative flatmate of Hugh Grant. He is quite the comic relief, and caused me to seek out more of his movies (Like the goal kicker in "The Replacements"). You can characterize this movies two ways. First, it is formulaic. Second, it should fulfill the nitch of a comic love story in the DVD collection. I am not one for love stories per se, but I enjoyed this one. And bought it here on eBay.Read full review
If I can judge it is a wonderful little film, sweet and sentimental with lots of Hugh Grant humour. Julia Roberts is lovely and believable. A truly romantic picture, without being offensive, disgusting or crude. A movie that will not change anything, but for pure romance, it is delightful. If a fan of either Mr Grant or Ms Roberts, it surely needs to be in your collection.

This is a film that doesn't disappoint. From the first shot the viewer can deduce the outcome. The ups and downs, twists and turns are deliciously corny. There are clever touches but no surprises; there is wit without drama, political incorrectness without remorse. It is a good, old-fashioned, surprisingly well crafted Boy Gets Girl-Loses Girl-Realises Error of Ways-Regains Girl romantic comedy that could have been written for Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant. The crossover of reality and fantasy affects the two protagonists as much as the viewer. It is willing collaboration, willing suspension of disbelief - and a lot of fun.
Great Rom-Com ! I've watched it repeatedly !! The characters are funny, endearing, and make you want to hang out with them. Hugh Grant is a heart throb!
