great brit movie ...... shame about the 2 male leads

I agree that the female leads were good but disagree with you about the male leads. Sendhil Ramamurthy was gorgeous and charming in a role that was very underwritten and Jimi Mistry barely had anything to do so i fail to see how you think his performance was bad. I disagree that the movie was good. i found it silly, derivative and very poorly written and edited. The cast elevated a very bad film to a mediocre film in my opinion.

Yes, I concur with what the TS said. Sendhil was a letdown. After watching him acted so well in Heroes, it is frustrating to see him not being able to do the same in this film.

I don't think that one can blame Sendhil Ramamurthy's acting on the failure of this role in coming across onscreen, but in the writing of the character's storyline. Typically--as in, in my opinion, this case--the failure of the "juiciness" of a character or a character's storyline or usage has to do with the writing, not in how the part is acted (provided, of course, that a qualified and talented artist has landed the role). In this case, Sendhil Ramamurthy had the role, and he has proven time and again to be a very talented young actor. Perhaps the acting was not the problem...?
