Book Girl and I saw this movie today. We were aiming for another, we thought, but the lines were too long, so we went to a show where we wouldn't miss any of the beginning.
But we enjoyed it. Maybe because we had low expectations. It's not as bad as some lead you to believe. There were a lot of funny scenes. Everyone seemed to like it in the theater.
Sure it is stereotyped, but it was cute.
Hugh Grant plays his usual character, but less annoyingly. Sarah Jessica Parker also plays her usual character.
I had a problem with some of the script.
If you were in a witness protection program, would you seriously make a phone call?
If you were in protective custody, would they leave you alone so much?
And if you couldn't use the phone where you were staying, would they not watch you, if you went into town?
Giving away none of the plot
The ending, while happy, was not researched very well. It is totally incorrect. I oughta know.
I give it 2 stars.
Have you seen it?
