From the fey, sadistic director to the over-the-top leading man, our naive heroine treads (and stirs up) the dangerous waters of the theatre. A thoughtful dramedy from the director of "Four Weddings and a Funeral." [More]

Reviews for An Awfully Big Adventure
Star Hugh Grant and director Mike Newell reteam in this bitter-sweet backstage melodrama, set in Liverpool after WWII; it's a disasppointing follow-up to their smash comedy hit Four Weddings and a Funeral.
