trinityvixen...has to be the cutest, sweetest movie ever.
It's choc-a-bloc with cliche--every single female introduced to every single male barring one exception got hooked up with each other--but it's the cutest, most enjoyable thing I've seen recently. Perhaps, predictably, I liked Colin Firth a whole lot, but my favorite was definitely Hugh Grant as the new British Prime Minster. Seriously. It's very sad, very, very sad. I usually like Hugh Grant's silly-and-forgettable romantic comedies as much as the next girly-girl, but he's somehow a lot more likable as the Prime Minister. I can't explain it. Maybe it's the association of single guy possibility with the office currently occupied by the hottest first-world leader ever, British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
Otherwise, the whole movie is ao adorable as a whole...even the commentary is ridiculously great and funny and sweet. Question, though, relating to commentary: anyone (who reads enough tabloids) know if Hugh Grant actually doesn't like Colin Firth? They kept ragging on him on the commentary, him worst of all. Or is this just more of the droll British humor thing? Anyway, all girls need to see and love this movie. And try not to get drool all down their fronts when the really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really HOTT!!!!111ONEONEONE Brazilian guy takes his shirt off. He's probably the only non-male model who would look that good in those underpants...jesus, he had nice hair, too...and glasses...oy, maybe I need to rethink the British Prime Minister Hugh Grant infatuation...

Date: 2004-11-15 11:01 am (UTC)Plotless? Hell yeah. Maybe that's why it's so good. None of this "HAVE TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO MOVE ALONG THE ROMANTIC COMEDY FORMULA!" crap. Keep the formula, but chop it up, ruin it here and there and never resolve it (Alan+Emma's path, Laura+the Hot, Hot Brazilian guy), and you've got gold.
Also: Hugh Grant dancing around=comedy genius
