I just saw this movie.
It has all the ingredients of a romantic comedy, a little drama, funny situations, etc... but it has an approach on the love topic that is different and quite good. Just enough to make it serious instead of cheesy which is what makes me hate romantic comedies.

seem's like another one of those romantic blockbusters hollywood hope for just by dumping a load of popular actors into the mix. They always seem to forget originality, story and entertainment though. There copying movies from the 50's and 60's. hollywood always got a solid star breaking cast in a movie, but they always had a good story under neath the casting. I wont be fooled by this marketing stunt

Its a british movie. So its not your typical crappy american romantic comedy.
I dont like romantic comedies but this one is actually funny, with that british humor. Its also R rated so not the cheesy type either.
I think its the entire cast list I posted all because there were actors that looked familiar but I didnt know the name. So instead of checking I just posted the whole thing
My wife and I went to see it earlier this week and we both thought it was a good movie. At least I was okay shelling out nine bucks to see it. I think Hugh Grant was funny, as was the character "Billy Mack" (absolutely hilarious). It didn't hurt to have the eye candy of Keira Knightly in the movie. I thought "Natilie" was cute too (did anybody else think she was the 'big' girl everybody was making her out to be in the movie, cause I didn't think so).
good flic, good times

I think it's ok, but i didn't really hold together well, i mean it was great for light entertainment, but i wouldn't say it was amazin. However I did feel really sorry for Harry's wife, she reminded me so much of my mum it was scarey

The scenes between Lucia Moniz and Colin Firth are really funny.
