This movie is one of the most boring movies I've ever seen. I didn't think it was charming or sweet or worthy of any recognition at all.
The basic plot was just a sort of generic romance plot, with Charlotte being engaged to Cecil and then ditching him for George. As if you didn't see that coming. Predictable to the extreme.
Being forced to watch it in English class didn't help. Being surrounded by 30 other people who all thought it was adorable only accelerated my forming of the opinion that this movie is over-rated, not just plain boring. Every time George kissed Charlotte the 30-girl chorus of "awww" just made me want to be sick into my own scorn. Generic romance such as this does not deserve analysis and class time. It doesn't even deserve to be made, and it certainly doesn't deserve any awards nominations!
To anyone who hasn't seen it, don't. You will just waste about two hours of your life that could be spent doing something better. Anything.
If I never watch this again it will be too soon.
