I watch it at least once a year. I think John Hannah is so silly and charming at the same time. I'm not a gwyneth hater so that helps and I don't care that her accent isn't great. I don't why, I just never get sick of it. Seems like people post on here because they dont like it.
shareI love it too, and I'm not ashamed at all to admit it.
shareI'm not at all a Paltrow fan, but I absolutely love this movie.
shareI just watched it tonight, came on here to see the comments and shocked at how many people dislike it. I'm like you - I love it!
I actually forgot that Gwyneth wasn't English lol... I'm like... WAIT... she's not English?! Haha... That's how much her accent didn't bother me one bit.
And John Hannah.... *swoon* I would take his character ANY day. He's my type of guy :)

This is one of my favorite love stories! Very heartwarming. I also watch it once or twice a year. Restores my faith in love that is meant to be.
shareOne of the very few movies that I enjoy watching Paltrow.

I watch it as often as I can...it never gets old for me...ever since I saw it in 1998.

I am a Paltrow fan and I think she's really good in a challenging role where she has to bring to the fore differences in two versions of the same character.
John Hannah is a good foil for her, but IMO, the big mistake made by the director is giving Gerry way too much screen time. Consequently long - haired Helen's story becomes totally dominated by Gerry, who in turn begins to be seen as a somewhat lovable buffoon, rather than the manipulative, untrustworthy leech we know him to be 10 minutes into the film.
Contrast that with short-haired Helen, where James's story never comes close to dominating hers.
I like the movie but have always thought the doors were somewhat unbalanced.
Hello again, Spooky:
I think the director or writer perhaps TRIED to make him seem too loveable but it NEVER worked out for me. He was just a dumb cluck who wouldn't listen to his pub mate.
BUT OHHHH...for me, one strike and you're OUT! :)
Enrique Sanchez
BUT OHHHH...for me, one strike and you're OUT! :)Hi Enrique. Yes, I definitely agree. Nothing against John Lynch the actor, but the dominance of his character in that particular story, never worked for me, either in a dramatic nor comic sense. share
Obviously not, it would be 1.1 in rating, if any higher than 1, if you were the only one who likes it
