As soon as I saw Anne Hathway riding her bike at the start (in 2006) I let out a little groan. I wonder what happens in 2006 later?Andy Bucklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15655573933693289124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890338907751315894.post-31310552392073954762011-09-25T06:52:02.218+10:002011-09-25T06:52:02.218+10:00I couldn't believe how this film ended.

Sturgess and Hathaway are fun to watch together, but the rest of the film just feels like a gimmick that was done wrong, and brings nothing new at all to the conventions of the romantic drama.Dan O.http://www.dtmmr.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890338907751315894.post-68778223215758349312011-09-09T13:46:03.464+10:002011-09-09T13:46:03.464+10:00Oops.

She wasn't suited to this role at all. I can't recommend this one, my friend. I'm sure it's a great novel, but as a film it just doesn't work. Never once was I absorbed, and though I liked the final sequences, there is just too many dull episodes preceding it. <br /><br />@ Jessica - Please don't see this film Jessica, I guarantee you will be disappointed. Just try and remember the novel :-)Andy Bucklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15655573933693289124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890338907751315894.post-1825169434723507142011-09-02T23:48:41.823+10:002011-09-02T23:48:41.823+10:00@ Steven - I have only seen An Education from Sche...@ Steven - I have only seen An Education from Scherfig's resume, or did she also direct Chocolat with Juliette Binoche? I could be wrong. I liked that film anyway! Yeah, this isn't worth seeing at a cinema, dude! <br /><br />@ Ruth - I still manage to come up with something but its sometimes hard when you have little interest in the film. Some of my hardest reviews have been for Thor, Cars 2 and The Conspirator. I didn't enjoy any of those films despite admiring some aspects. But, I spent way too long working on those reviews haha. Yeah, you are spot on. Jim does a good job, and Anne tries hard, but having to attempt the British accent, and look unattractive is just too much of a distraction.Andy Bucklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15655573933693289124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890338907751315894.post-87372882338251876592011-09-02T17:46:50.280+10:002011-09-02T17:46:50.280+10:00I loved the book, but I see no reason whatsoever t...I loved the book, but I see no reason whatsoever to see the movie.

With a horrible turn in Alice in Wonderland and then this, she is really inconsistent as of late.Castorhttp://www.anomalousmaterial.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890338907751315894.post-41472786429570485082011-09-02T12:45:29.704+10:002011-09-02T12:45:29.704+10:00Hi Andy, I'm kind of like you when I don't...Hi Andy, I'm kind of like you when I don't care about a particular review, sometimes I don't even bother reviewing it at all. Somehow when I saw the trailer for this I thought that Jim seemed ok but that Anne wasn't as convincing, turns out I was right.ruthhttp://flixchatter.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890338907751315894.post-62079976038053430622011-09-02T10:45:09.867+10:002011-09-02T10:45:09.867+10:00The only reason I thought about seeing it was beca...The only reason I thought about seeing it was because of Lone Scherfig whose work I liked for films like <i>Italian for Beginners</i>, <i>Wilbur Wants to Kill Himself</i>, and <i>An Education</i>. Then I saw the trailer (which I tried to avoid) and... I went "Uh... I don't know". I'll wait for it on TV though it will take some years for me to revisit <i>An Education</i>. That whole film as good as it is, just reminds me of an extremely bad day for me.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.com
