Though it is very easy to like this film a lot, I found the second half drawn out and painfully slow in places. The sparkle of Hugh Grant's script delivery and Sandra Bullock's comic turns were lacking after a fairly blistering start which set the scene extremely well.
It has to be said that in whatever way the second half lacked pizzazz, it was indeed true to life and thankfully did not follow the unbelievable events of other such recent comedies.
Refreshing in its range but slightly overlong, this film is still probably best caught while still on in the cinema.
