    This off-beat little romantic comedy is a little uneven in spots (the end reconciliation is abrupt and silly) but there are some very charming moments. David Tennant is occasionally hilarious as the hero - equal parts cheerful and inept. There are some genuinely laugh-out-loud fu... read morenny moments, so it's worth watching as long as you never try to take it too seriously and just let the silly plot twists happen. Cute, sweet, but far from perfect.

    Looked interesting. I only watched the parts with Johnny and thats all that counts to me. I would've skipped the rest anyways. =]

The knives are never sharp enough to do justice to a subject that's so often skewered and merits a more daring treatment in its social satire. Full Review
