4 stars (Very Good) A comedy / drama / romance - as in the first third is mostly comedy, the second mostly drama and the last third mostly romance. An unusual way to build a film, but it keeps it interesting. ~s36e175

2 stars (Good Try) A good cast drowning vertically (as Clive James would say) while Hallstrom, the cinematographer and the composer man the syrup-spigot. No truth, intelligence or drama and not much comedy. 'Drivel, Actually'. ~HiFi
