Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

vincentlynch-moonoi Yes, hope springs eternal that a chick flick with Colin Firth and Minnie Driver would be mildly entertaining. I was eating a bowl full of buttered noodles while watching this, and I'm not sure which -- the noodles or the film -- was more bland.It's only been the last decade that I've begun to appreciate British cinema. This film set that back a decade.But let's begin with what's good about this film. Well, let me think. Ah -- it's filmed in New England in autumn, so it's pretty. Frank Collison who runs the local motel with Mary Steenbergen is mildly humorous, but this is a step down for Steenbergen. And, let's see...well, that's about it.Colin Firth is a fine action...who was wasted here. I always enjoy Minnie Driver...well, almost always. Heather Graham...sorry, not impressed. Oliver Platt, who's usually a fairly entertaining actor, has a nothing role here.And then there's the plot. Oddly enough, I kept thinking that maybe Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr could have saved this. But then I decided that just dusting off my DVD of "An Affair To Remember" would be better than watching this affair to be forgotten.Thumbs down. You can do better.

poj-man RomCom at it's stupidest & worst. Colin Firth and Heather Graham are Dumb And Dumber.I'm supposed to buy off that it is all just RomCom fun to slam bottles of booze in a car and then to take off driving in a Mustang through stop signs...nearly getting in accidents...but this is OK because it is RomCom love fun. The stodgy Colin Firth is falling for Heather Graham and "sap rock" (instead of cock rock) plays to accent the scene.Then she goes to his room and just strips naked and jumps around because "Butterflies are free!" Of course, you'd never think she's been slamming Tequila; it looks like she is in gymnastics class! And since he is Colin Firth of course he isn't a rapist or killer so why not just strip down and jiggle! Then Heather is the most self absorbed woman a man ever shacked up with. She can't let Colin draw his art; she has to be constantly interrupting and needs babying.Don't bother.

leplatypus It's indeed the season in the movie: heavy rains and leaves falling. But it's also the feeling I got after watching it. It'a bit dull: the locations are beautiful, the cast is talented but the sauce doesn't get drenched. Maybe it's because i can't believe that we can't fall in love like this and that Minnie's trick for testing her relationship is impossible. Hence, i never related to the drama, that is above all very limited: it's Minnie pleading all the time for the come-back of her lover. By luck, there are some funny moments but it's not enough and the movie would have been more interesting with focusing more on the British / American differences.

patg-637-261848 My wife and I started watching this movie and quickly become insulted by the poor quality and the lack of detail. This was supposed to take place in Vermont, USA, but they were so bad at location that they forgot to at least put on Vermont car plates - they were British Columbia plates!!! Also, the accents were terrible. One lady sounded like Fran Dressler from the Nanny, some sounded like they were from the south. Vermonters for the most part don't have an accent. Why not just film the movie in Vermont? A little homework by the producers would have done them some good. It's too bad... we both like the actor Colin Firth. Not his fault.
