A full two decades after "Four Weddings and a Funeral," Hugh Grant still does that stammering, understated, witty and dashing thing as well as anyone in the business.

Another Hugh Grant comedy that follows the dots without much wit ...

Hugh Grant's latest comedy is as comforting and well-worn as a heavy blanket on a freezing day.

The Rewrite wants to be a film about the messiness of life but it only has Hollywood clichés to work with.

By no means watch this if you're looking for a nourishing cinematic experience. But if your idea of a cozy rom-com is an old Hugh Grant one, this has some cine-comfort-food-carbs for you.

Before it was done to death, there was something terribly appealing about Grant's heroes, and many of his romantic comedies -- something "The Rewrite" nicely reminds us of.

Apr 29, 2015Watched The Rewrite tonight and I loved it! But then, I am a sucker for well-done romantic comedies and this qualifies. I am also quite familiar with the Binghamton area as I grew up an hour and a half north of there and have passed through it numerous times. I am unashamedly a fan of Hugh Grant and thought he was excellent as the cynical, burned out Hollywood screenwriter still basking in the adulation for his one and only successful screen play who takes a teaching job as a last ditch means of earning a living. The supporting cast was excellent, the screenplay was brilliant, and the story of second chances and finding a purpose was actually inspiring. I am sore tempted to go the full Monty on this and give it five stars.Mark A Super Reviewer

Feb 11, 2015After the nosedive Hugh Grant's career took of late I was expecting this to be terrible. Instead it was engaging, well written, well acted and had some great actors in it. Similar to the screenwriting techniques Hugh Grant's character delivers onscreen to his students. If anything the third act that the movie so goes on about is arguably this movies weakest part in an otherwise well told narrative.Ian W Super Reviewer
