Marcus T @MarcusT12 Jul 10 Both main characters are unlikable and the story (what there is of it) is pretty grim. I stopped watching before I got to the halfway point. There are some slight hints of humor here and there, but not enough to leaven this loaf. I wanted to see Emily Blunt, but not like that.

It just never got to the point in a convincing fashion... I liked some of the quirky parts, the wedding dress was awesome...I could never wrap my head around Firth speaking, or trying to speak, without his notable British accent... that was tough.

Don't be put off thinking it's about golf, because it's not. It's one of those slow reveal films where the viewer is dropped into an unfamiliar situation, and then by accompanying the characters gradually figures out who they are and what they are up to. When executed well, as it is in the case, this approach is very effective at engaging the audience and making fairly ordinary events seem interesting. I thought the film was very well made, making subtle use of a broad range of cinematic and dramatic techniques. Once started, I had too see how it ended, but of course just as the film has no real beginning, it also has no end either! It's just a time slice in the characters lives, where you get to see part of their story. I enjoyed the film, and found it interesting to watch, and would recommend it.

So many 'off' things about these lying fake age-inappropriate people, and not enough to make me want to find out any more about them. Yuck. Putting me off Colin Firth actually. Did he just accept the role so he could snog the much younger Emily? Booo See more 08/19/2021 I watched this movie only because of Emily Blunt to see some of her earlier work. Here, she stars alongside the legendary Colin Firth where they basically form new lives and break into people's houses and make love to each other. Clearly not their best work but a very intriguing movie because both of them put on American accents which they do especially well, especially Blunt. See more Read all reviews
