Born Romantic (2000)
7/10
Entertaining British nothing-to-it predictable romantic comedy
11 March 2001
If you like run-of-the-mill British romantic comedies a-la This Year's Love and Four Weddings and a Funeral, you'll like this film. There are no twists to confuse the less discerning cinema goer and plenty of famous (to British eyes) faces to make you feel warm and cosy.

The characters are easy to understand and not particularly deep, each with his or her own quirk. A number of storylines run in parallel, with the links between them being a taxi driver who routinely delivers them to and from a London salsa club. At various points throughout proceedings, John Thomson and Ian Hart appear in a greasy spoon, with Hart's character dishing out not-so-useful information on the fairer sex to the lovelorn Thomson. If nothing else, these two make the film worth watching.

All in all, a reasonable use of two hours of your life.
