Synopsis

Flighty Emily "Jacks" Jackson works for the British edition of Vogue magazine. Rather than pursue a relationship, Jacks regularly hooks up with her devoted ex-boyfriend, James Wildstone, and lives with Peter Simon, a gay screenwriter. When Jacks meets Argentinian photographer's assistant Paolo Sarmiento, she assumes he is gay and tries to bring him and Peter together, unaware that Paolo is straight and in love with her.

cbrandonjones Because1. It stars the very pretty Santiago Cabrera (who looks just wrong without a beard and moustache) and the gorgeous and lost-too-soon Brittany Murphy2. It's a story about a gay best friend which won't make you cringe, and actually puts him and his needs and his romance ahead of the female lead's3. Tango!4. Catherine Tate is hilarious, and her double act with Stephanie Beacham is a scream5. It uses modern London as a backdrop very nicely (please to be excusing the blatant b*llsh*t about how Heathrow and registry office marriages work)6. It includes the most accurate description of the stages of a relationship I've ever heard7. It's funny enough to make you pee8. It's just lovely
kim_smoak Poorly acted…very poorly acted. That is the first thing that comes to mind when I think of this movie. I usually like Brittany Murphy's movies…but this one…not so good. She tried to put on this obviously fake British accent…and it fails. I feel so bad for saying some of this, because I know that this was one of her last movies she made before she died. She didn't really go out with a bang like Heath Ledger did with Batman. I just wished there was more of a love story and a romance...maybe a spark...but there was nothing! Oh well, it's not a terrible movie...definitely worth watching once...but maybe just once.For daily movie reviews visit: kimsmoak.com now!
I M Buggy This is a spectacular movie. The script, the plot, the directing, the production, the acting. I'm saddened to see such mediocre review ratings for it.I ran across this title while checking for movies starring the tragically shortened life of Brittany Murphy. This one is exemplary of her talents. Her acting is superb in character. And she dances spectacularly! The movie is fast-paced, with many twists and turns in the plot, and well-done interruptions which change and alter the characters' understandings or misunderstandings in a delightful way. Very well done and not awkwardly so as with many fast paced movies.Highly recommended, whether you're a Brittany Murphy fan or just a fan of insanely twisting plots and great comedy-romance.
donwc1996 If you loved Clueless and remember the girl that was made over, Brittany Murhpy, you will love her all over again in this absolutely first-rate movie. The promise Murphy showed in Clueless is more than realized here as she is the pivotal character around which all action navigates and the other characters gravitate. London is the setting, a city a college buddy of mine calls the most civilized place on Earth and where he retired years ago. This film shows London at its best and you can hardly wait to get off your seat and book passage to that great urban center where young, sophisticated, gorgeous, talented people are remaking the world in their own way and which is shown so well in this film. The story is fresh and enchanting and the handsome, beautiful people who populate it are a delight to behold, each more wonderful than the last.
