eastbergholt2002 This film was a disappointment, my cable provider described it as a witty comedy, but it was awful. The cast proved that light romantic comedy is harder than it looks. Avoid this movie it's not very funny and doesn't make any sense.The script from Peter Morgan (The Queen, Last King of Scotland) was weak, the plot feeble and you didn't really care about any of the characters.Martha (Monica Potter)is an American woman on the rebound. She escapes from a failed romance in Minnesota and hops on a cheap flight to London. At the airport she meets Daniel (Tom Hollander), a short but successful music executive. Everyday he meets attractive women but falls in love with Potter at their first encounter. Martha does not reciprocate Daniel's advances but because she only has $35 to her name she accepts his hospitality. Martha meets Laurence (Joseph Fiennes) and promptly falls in love with him. Fiennes and Hollander are best friends. The series of coincidences and chance meetings defy credibility.

[email protected] I liked this. I saw it not more than five minutes ago, and I already want to see it again! I usually hate romantic movies, but this had enough twists to make it enjoyable. The actors looked like real people, and (thank god!) acted like them! Insecurities associated with dating came through brilliantly, and the two main characters really shined. I recommend this, especially for people who like quirky movies... And if you like this, try I.Q.! JD

Tao_Neal_Lawson Being quite the Monica Potter fan and incidentally being at a stall in a market where they sell videotapes, I recently came across this movie. Seeing that these movies were cheap and all, I decided to watch it because it's Monica Potter, and what can I say, no one should turn down any film with Monica Potter in it! After saving it for a rainy day, I popped it into the old video recorder and watched. And may I say, my eighty-three minutes were well spent.The whole plotline seemed sequential and well-drawn at first, but when I realized that some parts were not in chronological order, I seemed to have assumed that it was not to lose the interest of the viewer. I didn't lose any interest, because I mainly focused on the characterization of these three men that practically grew up together. When I saw all three of them congregating at the restaurant, I couldn't possibly tell how these guys got along. Fiennes character caught my attention the absolute most because he was downright miserable, dismal, and incredibly similar to a William Thacker (for those of you that don't know, see "Notting Hill") except for the fact that he didn't own a bookshop and that he taught bridge to old ladies. It kind of gives me an impression that his experiences are similar to mine; he never travels that much. Rufus Sewell portrayed a washed up, unemployed actor that seems to always have a rain cloud over his head. Nothing ever good seemed to come out of his life. And then there's this other guy that plays the role of being this famous, pompous moron that is responsible for being some sort of manager, producer or coordinator. He bored me simply because he lacked the basic fruits of life (intelligence, charm, and morals). I would have personally liked to have seen him get picked off in the middle of the movie. It's a shame that the writer did not create this elaborate fight scene which would have been similar to "Bridget Jones' Diary."And then, there's the stunning and intriguing Monica Potter that plays the role of Martha, this completely wonderful and dazzling optimist who decides to fly to London (firstly, because it only cost ninety-nine bucks, and secondly, to start a new life). But in her case, she does not seem to have any luck due to the fact that she is, in a sense, dissatisfied with Britain. In all my regards, I consider her to be the scene stealer of the film, and I would have liked to see more of her.On the cover of the box, they say that this is a "sexy, romantic comedy." The only problem that leaves an abrupt question mark is, where the hell is the sex? Why would they call it sexy and a romantic comedy if there was no bloody sex? Important element in a romantic comedy script: there has to be a sex scene in order to characterize it. All romantic comedy writers know of that. But it didn't disappoint me in any manner.All in all, the comedic delivery, the irony, and the entire plotline were the only things that kept the film alive. The film's charm and cinematography was what kept me from not hating this film. I could not believe the ending, because it was one of those endings that someone would have never expected. It's a delightful "romantic comedy" and I strongly recommend for Monica Potter fans and other lovers for a rainy day!9/10 (Or a B average due to the wonderful characters and the crazy storyline. The only thing it lacked was the romance in the romantic comedy.)

George Parker "The Very Thought of You" tells the tale of one woman who encounters three men individually while starting her life over in the UK. Curiously, the three men happen to be best friends...the crux which launches this charming and amusing little romantic comedy. Low on schmaltz, fresh and fun, "TVToY" is a three star flick worth a watch for anyone into this genre.
