I don't care about the bad reviews - I love this film.

I watched this sort of by accident - we'd seen Matthew Goode in other films and he was excellent so we recorded it out of curiosity. It is totally predictable but really, who cares - it's a rom com. It's funny and sparky. I like the banter between the two main characters - some of the lines are laugh out loud funny. Matthew Goode's accent has been panned - and yes it slips badly sometimes but mostly it's spot on. I spend a lot of time in Ireland and he sounds like my very irish brother in law! The best parts for me are Mr Goode's wonderful facial expressions - he pulls some priceless faces.

It's got flaws - some lines are really clunky but it's just as good as the sickly sweet Richard Curtis efforts.

Anyway - give it a go. It's not meant to be high art but it is a sweet and funny rom com.
