Typically british? It was but come on it was obviously written by an american. I knew this before I evem read it up. Lance was the guy lusted after by all the women and had a cool woooo! factor (even if he was a perve)? In what americans/brits film (written by an american) does this not happen? Lol it's funny when you think about it. How proud are american men?
I watched this film last night. I might buy it or rent it out. Great cast, ro, mag, pat.
Actually one of the writers was American (Richard Russo) the other was British (Niall Johnson) who was also the director. I'm an American woman and I thought Lance was a prat and sleezy and icky - and about as appealing as battered grapes fried in cod liver oil. Which is to say EW!!!! Gross!
shareOh god yes. We Americans can't help but remind the world of how sexy we are, and there is nothing that makes us women swoon more than a sleazeball in a tacky pimp shirt and a red g-string.... oh baby!

I thought the exact opposite - Lance seems like a character written by a non-American looking to project their negative stereotypes of Americans onto him (i.e. sleazy, crass, tacky, horny, southern accent....).
Amen. And all that cal.
Unlikly, Lance follows all the british stereotypes of the americans
and the bit about the flower arrangeing committee is so true, (if you have ever lived in a small village you will know!)

The film uses many stereotypes for fun and turns many on their heads. Swathes character is charming and sexy, whilst being out of place in a village like this in England but also sleazy and disgusting.
Atkinsons character seems week and afraid of showing emotion, but truly is a pationate man when shown the right path
