A Surprising British Rom Com That's V Entertaining. - This Year's Love review by GI
A very British romcom that may not appeal to anyone who isn't British and able to recognise the quirkiness of the lives on show here but believe me they are very typical and work a treat. Set in Camden, a cosmopolitan district of London, the film follows the lives of six people in their romantic endeavours as they intertwine with each other. The catalyst for the narrative is the wedding of Hannah (Catherine McCormack) and Danny (Douglas Henshall). At the reception a guest casually tells Danny that Hannah has been bonking her husband, his best man, and this sets off a chain of events that involves Mary (Kathy Burke), a lonely girl with self loathing issues, Sophie (Jennifer Ehle - with spot on English accent), a single mother rebelling against her wealthy upbringing, Liam (Ian Hart), a lonely and emotionally weak man desperate for love and Cameron (Dougray Scott), a cocky womaniser with commitment problems. The cast are all impeccable and really give the slightly complex stories a natural and easy going feel making this a funny, tragic and uplifting film. In many ways this is sort of an alternative to Four Weddings And A Funeral (1994) and definitely one to check out if you've never seen it.
