Rating: - A lousy format for an important subject
I'm sure the political message of this film is important, but I missed it because in the end I turned it off. The film starts off quite well, but becomes horrendously tedious that makes you feel guilty rather than inspired to try and change the world.
I was glad I only rented it and didn't buy it. Avoid if possible.

Rating: - So dreadful it hurt.
The pace was so slow. The actors were so dull. The script was so puerile. Ugh!!

The Bill Nighy role was clearly meant for someone with 2 essential qualities: charisma and speed. His delivery was so slow that it was painful at times. The so called love affair was unbelievable and dull. Change the speed of delivery and the central actors and you may have a half decent film.

Then there is the problem with the script. It is a lovey's view of the world's problems. Treacle ... Read More

Rating: - I feel cheated, betrayed and abused.
It felt like this was two films stuck together. The first is a beautiful funny love story between two lonely people who one would think would have nothing in common.

Rating: - Well intentioned, but uneven.
Richard Curtis is a great writer, and his magic can be seen and felt in this sincere little love story. Bill Nighy and Kelly MacDonald are touching, funny and have great chemistry, but every time this delightful love story starts blossoming, the characters start talking like they are in a Stop Poverty Now campaign ad. Yes, all those numbers and facts are true and people need to know them, and the world must act - however, the way they are hammered into this story is lazy, forced and sometimes ruins the ...

Rating: - Facts about films playing in Iceland
A romantic TV film with a political background. Ouch. And Richard Curtis is doing all those Hugh Grant in always the same kinda role films... What a difference Bill Nighy made! The kind of character was a typical Richard Curtis centre of the story character, but when Hugh Grant TRIES, Bill Nighy IS, and you absolutely believe what he's like on screen. Shy, awkward, polite, one can't help but falling in love with his character again and again. So is Kelly MacDonald (and I'm sure some male viewers felt the ... Read More
