I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

I recognised the poster with the kissed frog, and there were some good people in it, so I wasn't going to dismiss it even if it is not as good as I hoped it would be. Basically a group of thirty-somethings flit around Camden Town swapping partners in search of love, lust and life. The stories include the marriage Danny (Primeval's Douglas Henshall) and Hannah (Catherine McCormack) ending after half an hour when his affair is revealed. Hannah leaves the reception, gets drunk, and beds artist Cameron (Enigma's Dougray Scott). Danny meanwhile is having almost a fling with Cameron's friend, struggling singer Mary (Kathy Burke). There is also the story of the relationship between comic book fan Liam (Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone's Ian Hart) and Sophie (Jennifer Ehle), who almost can't seem to get away from each other. Also starring Emily Woof as Alice, Sophie Okonedo as Denise and Goodnight Mister Tom's Annabelle Apsion as the Speed Dating Hostess. For me, this film is interest is mainly with the Burke and Hart characters. Good!

Let me start by saying that i cannot believe i wasted 1 hour and 45 minutes of my life by watching this film. I seriously expected so much better when my friend and I rented it. As it was, I had to stop her, and myself from turning off halfway through. When it finished we cheered- not because the ending was good but because we were so pleased that it was over.From an interesting beginning, This Year's love goes downhill all the way. The tangled love- lives of the characters is not only unbelievable but also badly acted. The only character i really felt for was Liam, and i stopped feeling for him once he recovered from his attempted suicide and became an utter psycho. Kathy Burke was good but not good enough that i liked her characterAll i can say is, if you are thinking of renting this- only do so if you've got 2 hours to waste and it's the only thing left in the video store! I give it 3/10.... and thats pushing it!

This is a very funny film and all the actors do a great job. The best has to be Dougray Scott as handsome Scot, Cameron. Despite his treatment of the woman in the film, Cameron is a loveable character and you can't help but feel sorry for him when he gets a bucket of yellow paint thrown over his face as he lies in bed!!! - what a scene!

Words that fill me with dread: 'A Joel Schumacher Film' obviously, 'A Romatic Comedy from London', equally horrid. Yet finally someone has got it right - not Joel Schumacher of course.Peter Kane's salty comedy is something quite new, an unsentimental, contemporary La Ronde set in Camden Lock. His bone dry script is adorned by a magic cast, not least the indomitable Kathy Burke, who is surely now England's greatest treasure. There is a real courage here, no corners are cut and no easy, neat solutions are adopted. If we are a little disgusted by the smugness of the artsy characters it is more than compensated for by their terrible sadness. Very human, very witty and beamed in from a different galaxy from the one that Hugh Grant inhabits.
