  • The Very Thought Of You
  • Hot stars Joseph Fiennes (SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE) and Monica Potter (PATCH ADAMS, CON AIR) lead an impressive cast in this sexy romantic comedy about three old friends who unwittingly fall for the same woman! Martha (Potter) has decided to leave her life in the U.S. and start over in London, free of romance and other complications. But then, one by one, she meets Frank (Rufus Sewell -- DANGEROUS BEAUTY, DARK CITY), Daniel (Tom Hollander), and Laurence (Fiennes) ... childhood buddies who each fall instantly in love with her! As the guys compete with outrageous schemes to win her love, you'll be entertained by a funny and charming comedy where Martha gets swept away in three whirlwind romances while pondering which one to choose!

    I would have liked to see Potter and Fiennes in a more straightforward love story without all the mechanical silliness.

    Even Julia [Roberts] and Hugh [Grant] would have had a hard time putting any spark into the two weakly drawn lovers at the heart of this film.
