Thoughts
We were looking for something to take our minds off what had been a long week and an extremely mind-boggling (Brexit-filled) day. Who better to turn to than Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullock? I can't believe I haven't seen this one already, given my love for Sandy, but it was the perfect film to rectify the situation.
Well, it was almost perfect. We were looking for something without politics at all, and found ourselves confronted with a couple of George Bush jokes and a Donald Trump cameo!! But other than that hideous scene, it was just what you'd expect of a Grant/Bullock rom-com.
It wasn't the best film ever, but it had a nice story, with two great leads who found a natural chemistry. My favourite thing of all was that Sandra's character was quirky and hippy in her own right, and she didn't have to change to get the guy.
Rating: 3 / 5
