J I @RT17771945 May 1 Great cast and a very funny film. Bill Nighy and Emily Blunt make an interesting couple and Rupert Grint is wonderful as the "adopted" son. The villains led by Martin Freeman are also very good 👍🙂 See more Maryneat R @maryneat Apr 29 Was nearly to the british atmosphere, not comprehensive out of the sophisticated scenery of a London of 2010. Music around the acts, and the roles upper the cinematic tabloid. A very interesting movie to have lights on the garden in a comic film. See more Michelle T @MichelleTrim Jan 3 This is a gentle comedy romance enveloped in pure British humour. Smart, satirical and no slapstick. WHAT a joy. Highly recommended. See more nick s @Nick_S Dec 29 Very capable cast. Unfortunately they were working with a woeful script that made scenes feel forced and too jumpy. The main characters forged deep and meaningful relationships after one day. Then there's all the unnecessary exposition as they explain each others character nuances in case anybody missed it. I think it was meant to be a comedy but there weren't many jokes. Maybe we were meant to be amused by it's absurdity. I couldn't get through it. The start wasn't too bad but the middle was as entertaining as flat soda pop. See more Tony S @RT22145614 Aug 17 Not a favorite of the critics, but I liked it. Good suspense, funny, and some twists and turns that were unexpected and enjoyable. See more Blu B @RT43513976 04/30/2024 It's interesting and there is a lot of potential here but for the following reasons it's held back. The cinematography is just ok. Nothing is really shot memorable, the locations aren't that memorable, and it has quite a bit of farfetched scenes in it at times. Aside from that everything else is half decent about it. The music at first is kind of awesome but for some werid reason as this goes on it uses less and less of it and when it does it uses more generic tracks that are very forgettable and just blend in. Than it doesn't use it enough in the second half on top of that. The main character is very wooden, stock, and kind of forgettable despite being the main focus. Grint...honestly he;s ok but I don't really know why he's here. If you take him out there really isn't anything lost. The villians are forgettable also. Blunt isn't bad and is probably the best thing in this. The jokes are very hit or miss. Sometimes they get a good laugh out of nowhere with the quirky british humor and other times I'm scratching my head. This also has a weird tone problem at times. It's a comedy while also a screwball Rom Com with a heist thriller element to it but it never makes it work in a cohesive way tone wise. The story makes perfect sense and is a clever setup (though fafetched at certain points) but it tries at points to be a bit too dark and played not even too straight but too emotionless at times save for Blunt who gets the most laughs. This needed to be a bit more light hearted and bubbly with it's humor, stay focused on the two main leads, and have less farfetched/dumb scenes in it. There is quite a bit of potential here that works more than it fails. A testament to the strength of the underlying idea. But for the most part this is something that really only fans of any actors in this or someone who wants something really quirky and out of left field. See more Read all reviews
