Catherine Michel Hernandez Mansilla I really enjoyed this movie. First I caught it on TV and kept watching while wondering what's going on with Jennifer's accent. But then I caught up with the story and finally got to enjoying it. I love Jimi Mistry too (from Sex Guru) so he's another reason I kept watching at first. Great cast and light love comedy. I find British romantic comedies more complex than American, it's more time wondering what will happen at the end. Maybe the end could have been more dramatic, but I found it satisfying. I actually think they could have written Jennifer's character as an American...she seems to have struggled with the accent. Anyway she was lovely as always.
Sherazade They have obviously painfully dubbed her accent, so what was the point of casting her in the obviously UK drama in the first place? The deep and sensual voices they tried to match with her face just do not work but with the funny plot and if you do not know Jennifer Love Hewitt like most Americans or fan do then you will be able to forgive this and let it pass. Nevetheless, she plays Alice Holbrook a plain Jane nurse married to sexy lawyer Sam Holbrook (played by Jimi Mistry) and they are both best friends of Archie Gray (played by Dougray Scott). Archie is secretly in love with Alice and has been since all three of them were friends back in Uni. One valentine's eve, Archie accidentally sends a valentine to Alice but luckily, it was anonymous and so when Alice receives it, she thinks it was sent by her husband Sam, so she brings it up to him and he tells her that it wasn't from him. Alice then takes the postcard to her sleazy sister (played by Kate Miles) who is an expert with love affairs. Felicity or Flick (Miles) as she affectionately referred to by her younger sister then tells Alice that her husband must be having an affair to which Alice swears he isn't. They then decide to send him an anonymous valentine's and Alice swears that the minute he receives it, he would tell her about it. But when Sam receives the valentine card, he quickly hides it away much to Alice's dismay. Alice then decides to dig deeper and in the course of this discovers that her husband is not only a cheat but has begun to have an affair with a sexy alter-ego of herself named Anonymous.
UglyToesPete Hiya folks,Well, this movie sucks really. Think "Love Actually" in reverse. Nothing fits quite right, nothing is coherent, and certainly nothing makes you laugh. Love is rare in this film.It IS a total flop. As indicated however, there are three redeeming points about this mangled potential of a film.A) With a star billing of Jennifer Love Hewitt, there will be hordes of guys who will submit with grace to viewing this just to catch a glimpse of the petite Hewitt with form fitting clothing. To tell you now guys....there are some promising scenes....but it's really weak eye candy. The "possibilities" here are watered down. Nevertheless, I watched the whole thing tempted by the next scene of you know what.....titillating!B) The ending is romantic and positive. That it's contrary and "over the top" is relevant.....yet for me was still a positive point.C) Dougray Scott plays an amourous friendly guy........REFRESHING! THANK YOU! 2/5, not worthy of your 10 or so dollars.2/3's of the way through, I was convinced Jennifer Love Hewitt was becoming the next softcore legend. Although I'll take that back for now.....it hinges greatly on her next film.Oh, and her sister is way stupid. Her husband is way stupid...and what the heck, she's way stupid.Next time. can't wait for the next Love Actually with JLH!
larssonabout Yet another British romantic comedy which audiences all over the world seem to have a ravenous appetite for. This feeble effort is an unintentional parody of the genre - all the classic clichéd scenes are here from ridiculously elaborate misunderstandings to running after departing trains to declare one's love. The characters are one-dimensional caricatures save for Love-Hewitt who manages to bring some cohesion to the film. Things threaten to spiral out of control in the plausibility department as the film progresses; our good-natured suspension of belief finally comes crashing down during the preposterous ending. If you're looking for a Bridget Jones, Notting Hill kind of experience you won't find it here.
