Perfect Strangers (2004 TV Movie)

A funny and charming Anglo American love story from working title

[10/10 · 26 August 2005]

I was attracted to this comedy for 3 reasons 1) It was from Working title and the producers of Bridget Jones diary 2) the Anglo American love story/comedy 3) the very sexy rob Lowe! The story is funny and very true to life when it explores the differences each see when they live "abroad". Llyod (rob Lowe) and Suzie (anna frail) swap houses and jobs she leaves her fab and kooky London house with all its tradition and bad plumbing and and he leaves his ultra modern white wash new york apartments and his snobby lifestyle and fiancé behind and the two of them have trouble adjusting to each others lifestyles but eventually find that special relationship between the two countries give them common ground. Its very predictable as all ROM Com's are but both the actors are very funny and the supporting cast wonderful. Both London and New York look fab in the city shops and the differences in the two countries are exposed and mocked without any offense to either British OR Americans!! Lots to laugh at and lots-of fun and romance this is the perfect Sunday evening bottle of wine with the girls kinda movie!!!

Pipe Dream (2001)

This is the worst film i have ever seen

[1/10 · 29 December 2002]

I am sorry to fans of this film but it is the worst thing i have ever seen. Slow,badly cast and badly acted it is a film trying to escape the deadbeat romcoms of the recent years and failing! McDonald and Parker seem unable to convey real emotion and are lifeless. They seem to be in this one for any pay checks they are getting for it and not because they thought it was a good idea. The plot is DULL!! i love great chick films as much as the next girl and this is not one!! If you avoid one film this year....let it be

Three to Tango (1999)

This is the best romantic comedy i have ever seen!

[10/10 · 26 February 2001]

Three to tango is the best romantic comedy i have ever seen!It is romantic however it does not go over the top at every opportunity. There are some very funny moments especially when Matthew Perry and Oliver Platt are together. Perry shines as Oscar Novak. He plays the character with warmth and wit making him instantly lovable.Campbell is also good and McDermott makes a wonderful love-to-hate bad guy.I was amazed when i watched this film for the first time as the clip shows some of the Worst clips not the best! The film is highly underrated,beautifully written and very well acted by it's young cast. Overall an out and out winner!!
