I found this movie to be a pleasant surprise. The dialog was entertaining and quite funny. The characters are all lost and looking for someone or something to fulfill their lives. They each have something that makes their lives pathetic. As the film progresses the characters all seem to find improvement and are all helped by the Taxi Driver, Jimmy, who brings them together and helps them out. The main theme running through this delightful film, is that there is someone for everyone. Even a reclusive girl, who is obsessed with death and a petty thief who can't pull off a successful robbery. The story is well written and well acted. It leaves you with a warm and fuzzy happy ending. So, if you like happy endings, grab your loved one and cuddle up on the couch and give this one a try.

This film is a really nice ensemble piece, all the cast are good and put in a range of very appealing performances.Personally I have a bit of a 'thing' for David Morrissey and it was nice for a change to see him here with his native Liverpudlian accent being charming, sexy and very very funny.Ian Hart who gets top billing is really a fairly minor character, yet also puts in an excellent, and unusual performance as the misogynistic taxi driver who dishes out advice to anyone who cares to listen in the cafe.The plot is certainly nothing new, and there are no real surprises along the way, but it succeeds well in it's aim of being a warm and appealing feel good movie.

The movie, Born Romantic, is about how three separate men, whom, under different circumstances, wanders into a Salsa club. They somehow meets and eventually gets the woman of their dreams. The men and woman they are courting all revolve around this cab driver, who picks them up on a regular basis. He listens in on their rants, griefs and sorrows, and when required, nudges the relationship forward. The cabbie himself has insights to the importance of love, but we eventually learn that he himself is troubled, not being able to move on from his own lost love. As to the three men, they evolve throughout the film, changing from going after the women to making the women want to be with them.This whole film centers around the Salsa club, with a lot of seductive dancing, which is sort of what is used to form the closure for the movie.All in all, a delightful film.

"Born Romantic" uses the revolving door approach to studying the relationships of a half dozen quirky characters and their romantic relationships which are in various states of disarray. Full of wry British humor, lots of salsa dancing, and with a cab driver playing a sort of "Dan Cupid" type, "Born Romantic" is considerably more clever than its recent American counterpart "Sidewalks of New York", although they are at different ends of the romantic comedy genre. A fun and funny watch for those who enjoy British films.
