richard-1807 Whattt was with the sound? It sounded like it was all dubbed.Otherwise, bad. Plot = bad. Accents = bad (even Dougray, and we live in Scotland), Acting = bad, Harp = bad, Sex scenes - bad/cringeworthy.Still, we watched it until the end in disbelief. How could such a good roll call of actors perform so badly? Will they ever get a decent job again? Bad, Bad, Bad. By the way, we gave it 3 because we at least were enticed to watch it to the end due to its bizarre plot, etc.And to the older reviewer - I totally agree, it was like a romantic farce from the 1940s. How did it get made in 2004?OK, OK, there were some OK bits. They had a nice house in Bristol. Dougray had a nice boat. Jennifer looked nice in a little outfit. But how come the sister got all the men?
Sherazade They have obviously painfully dubbed her accent, so what was the point of casting her in the obviously UK drama in the first place? The deep and sensual voices they tried to match with her face just do not work but with the funny plot and if you do not know Jennifer Love Hewitt like most Americans or fan do then you will be able to forgive this and let it pass. Nevetheless, she plays Alice Holbrook a plain Jane nurse married to sexy lawyer Sam Holbrook (played by Jimi Mistry) and they are both best friends of Archie Gray (played by Dougray Scott). Archie is secretly in love with Alice and has been since all three of them were friends back in Uni. One valentine's eve, Archie accidentally sends a valentine to Alice but luckily, it was anonymous and so when Alice receives it, she thinks it was sent by her husband Sam, so she brings it up to him and he tells her that it wasn't from him. Alice then takes the postcard to her sleazy sister (played by Kate Miles) who is an expert with love affairs. Felicity or Flick (Miles) as she affectionately referred to by her younger sister then tells Alice that her husband must be having an affair to which Alice swears he isn't. They then decide to send him an anonymous valentine's and Alice swears that the minute he receives it, he would tell her about it. But when Sam receives the valentine card, he quickly hides it away much to Alice's dismay. Alice then decides to dig deeper and in the course of this discovers that her husband is not only a cheat but has begun to have an affair with a sexy alter-ego of herself named Anonymous.
UglyToesPete Hiya folks,Well, this movie sucks really. Think "Love Actually" in reverse. Nothing fits quite right, nothing is coherent, and certainly nothing makes you laugh. Love is rare in this film.It IS a total flop. As indicated however, there are three redeeming points about this mangled potential of a film.A) With a star billing of Jennifer Love Hewitt, there will be hordes of guys who will submit with grace to viewing this just to catch a glimpse of the petite Hewitt with form fitting clothing. To tell you now guys....there are some promising scenes....but it's really weak eye candy. The "possibilities" here are watered down. Nevertheless, I watched the whole thing tempted by the next scene of you know what.....titillating!B) The ending is romantic and positive. That it's contrary and "over the top" is relevant.....yet for me was still a positive point.C) Dougray Scott plays an amourous friendly guy........REFRESHING! THANK YOU! 2/5, not worthy of your 10 or so dollars.2/3's of the way through, I was convinced Jennifer Love Hewitt was becoming the next softcore legend. Although I'll take that back for now.....it hinges greatly on her next film.Oh, and her sister is way stupid. Her husband is way stupid...and what the heck, she's way stupid.Next time. can't wait for the next Love Actually with JLH!
susanjanetoh I loved this movie! It was so refreshing to see a romantic comedy with people in a marriage rather than the distraught single women we see all the time in other movies like Bridget Jones. It was funny and smart and I really liked all the twists and turns. You totally went with Jennifer Love Hewitt trying to save her marriage even though she should have ditched her cheating husband long ago for the gorgeous Archie (played by Dougray Scott). I also really liked her sister who injected a lot of fun into the movie. I saw it with family in Korea but I will definitely see it again with my girlfriends at home when it comes out in the U.S. Its not ground breaking but if you want to watch a chick-flick with a bit more bite than usual then this movie is for you.
