Simply A Masterpiece

Sadly Over-hyped

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

I cannot believe how some people viewed this film. Peter Morgan is a brilliant writer. Do we really expect a "predictable" love story from such a great writer? No way. Monica, as usual, is incredible to look at and watch. In my opinion, she's the next Julia Roberts. Rufus Sewell can obviously play any sort of character. I have seen him in "Tristan and Isolde," "Uncorked," and now this film. I am in love with his eyes and well everything he does is superior to most British actors today. Everything about this film was delightful. Tom Hollander is also very versatile. Thank you, Peter, for giving us a movie with love, life-long decision-making, style and wit. This film is pure genius! Joseph is slowly becoming the actor his brother Ralph has become. Good movie which has to be taken the right way, or it will fly right over the average movie-goers' heads!

I can never remember what it's called! I've only ever seen it when it's on television, and they refer to it as "The Very Thought of You," which I find as a very inappropriate title. The other title is an improvement, though I have to admit it's a bit wordy. Other than that, I really enjoy watching this movie. I love the idea, the cute British guys, the setting, and Monica in this role. She's like a blonde Julia Roberts. Don't get me wrong, I'm not usually this approving of most movies. In fact, anyone could argue that this movie is like any other romantic comedy. Though something's different in the formula that makes this stand apart from the rest. Just don't ask me what it is... Call me a hopeless romantic in need of a vacation.

Yikes! Is Joseph Fiennes outstanding, or what??!!? Not only is he gorgeous, but he's the most talented, believable actor out right now. English actors are just IT for me. I'll take Joseph, Jude, Colin (Firth), Rufus, etc., over any of these American cookie cutter nonsense actors (Ben Affleck, Mark Wahlberg, etc). Joseph Fiennes is simply amazing! His eyes speak volumes. You feel as if you are gazing into his soul and... *ahem*... well, onto the story... This is a delightful and refreshing comedy. Even though the plot of three best friends falling for the same girl in less than two days is slightly unbelievable (aren't they all?), it still works. It was pulled off as realistically as it could be. Monica Potter's quirky character wasn't too annoying, which was a welcome change. With these types of movies, I am often left wondering, "What was so great about her?", but I didn't feel that way about Martha. Her converse sneakers had to go, and she drank too much, but she was charming nonetheless. Joseph, on the other hand... absolutely no complaints with him or his character, Lawrence, except to say that I wish he would have had even more screen time. Rufus was hilarious. He had some of the best lines in the movie. This review probably hasn't been too helpful, so I'll end in this way... this is one of the best modern romantic comedies I've seen in a long time. It's extremely witty, the acting was great, there was actually chemistry between all of the characters, the storyline is fairly original, Joseph Fiennes is in it, etc. So, take some time out to see it!

I had the opportunity to watch this movie by means of a VHS that I have gotten in Spain, and I can really say that I like it a lot, it really entertained very much me. It is a pity that this movie has not been seen in my country, Argentina, and according to my thought, in any other country of Latin America. Precisely alone in Spain. But well, I had the opportunity to see it and I am not sorry. The movie begins when Lawrence (Joseph Fiennes) takes a psycological session where he talk about he, his two friends and a person that they have in common. Martha (Monica Potter), an American young girl, travels to London to make her new life. There, in the same flight, she will know Daniel (Tom Hollander), a young man that will fall in love at first sight of her. Then, Martha will know in a park to Frank (Rufus Sewell), an actor with bad luck in the love, that also will fall in love of her. But Martha doesn't like to both. Alone she will fall in love at first sight with Lawrence, to who she will know accidentally in the airport. Lawrence, a young man serious but a little clumsy, will also fall in love with her. But Martha doesn't know that three guys that she met at same time are friends. How will react when she know the truth??? This movie has a resemblance to the typical American romantic comedies, being in fact an English movie. But I really recommend it for anyone. It is such a simple movie that it will catch you from the beginning until the end. It should not really allow it to happen. The performances of Potter, Fiennes, Hollander and Sewell are brilliant, but I have heard many complaints with that the character of Potter could have been interpret better by Julia Roberts. For my, Potter is quite well in this movie. It is a pity, but this movie should really have been watched here in Argentina and Latin America of Spanish Language. My opinion: A great movie, Really if you have the opportunity to see it, it doesn't waste it, will see it. Amusing, pleasant, funny, a great romantic comedy. Don't get lost it.
