I saw this movie because one of my 43 things is to see every movie with Colin Firth in it. So my best friend and I rented it one night when there was nothing better to do, and frankly, we were a bit disappointed. The story is okay, but the characters are boring and you don’t feel any attachment to them (not even to dear Colin!). They are just not believable.

The DVD in itself is okay though – the extras we watched were fun. There was a little documentary on the movie – and Colin said the funniest line ever, something like “It was good for once to be in a movie where I get the girl(s). Usually they are stolen away from me, most of the time by someone whose last name is Fiennes.” Hehe! Almost all of the third star I give to this movie is due to that ;)
