Movie Review by B Movie Ben
March 16th, 2007

Grant & Roberts sparkle

Can a common man ever expect to be in the company of a beautiful star?
Maybe not in real life, but for the many that hope to ever do so this movie is a ray of hope.

Hugh Grant was absolutely marvelous as a bookseller who bumps into
Julia Roberts. She was equally fantastic in what I perceive to be her
best performance since Pretty Woman.

Rhys Ifans was absolutely over-the-top as his flatmate.

As Lloyd Dobler said in "Say Anything..." My goal in life is just to be
with her. What a goal. Lloyd achieved it and so did William Thacker.
There is hope!

I would be remiss if I did not mention the fantastic music in this movie. It was just incredible. Shania Twain, Al Green, Bob Marley, and on and on. It was a perfect soundtrack. That seems to characterize all of the romantic comedies that Grant is in.

Damn, this was one great movie!

Resistence is futile! Hugh will eventually get to you.
