A Very Good Movie Review.

A: Adorable movie I think everyone should watch.


A: It's basically Four Love Actually Weddings on Notting Hill and Bill Nighy is FANTASTIC.

L: You have just described my ideal movie, pretty much.

A: My friend Ashley described Bill Nighy as, "a gravely old hot dude."

L: Seriously. I am assuming this takes place in England? Nothing is more charming in a RomCom than England.

A: Not just in England, in CORNWALL. And. AND. The lead? Is a Weasley.

L: What's a Weasley?

A: Oh. Hmm. You're not a Harry Potter person?

L: No. I'm sure I will invoke the wrath of the internet, but I've never read or seen one of the HPs. Is it a ginger?

A: Oh, yes:



L: Huh. I assume he is the kind of man who is willing to do anything to please his sweet, sweet Rachel McAdams after some sort of terrible misunderstanding?

A: Oh, he travels back in TIME to please his sweet Rachel McAdams who has a tragic haircut.

L: OK, see now, THAT is love. And I from what I've seen on the IMDB, she really does have a bad haircut. I prefer my Rachel bang-less.

A: Agreed.

L: Do you think that this Weasley approaches Hugh Grant/Colin Firth levels of charm? Because that bar is set pretty high.

A: Honestly? No. He's too nerdy to ever reach those levels but he's certainly delightful and sweet. Bill Nighy is really the standout in this movie.

L: Say no more! His curly fingers get me every time. I mean this? I DIED:


A: His...what?

A: Oh god! That was the best romance in Love Actually.

L: Do you not know about the Bill Nighy finger thing? Google this: Bill Nighy hands.

A: I have never noticed that!

L: That's because he just makes it look COOL. Like a boss.

A: He's basically the best.


L: Tell me, is this movie in theaters? Or can I watch from my pajamas and not worry about strangers seeing me crying RomCom tears?

A: Oh no! It's on DVD so you're totally safe.

L: Thank god.

  2. It's so funny you should mention this ... it was just on Movie Central or one of those channels recently, and my husband and I watched, twice. Safe to say that we both quite enjoyed it. You know how I feel about ginger guys, but I thought this one was pretty adorable. Bill Nighy is awesomesauce, always.

  3. I saw this on the plane, I thought it was very well done- and I totally didn't recognize the Weasley! And I'm an HP devotee- is he one of the twins or the dragon one or the turncoat? Anyway....Yes, charming movie

    I love Bill Nighy too, he's just got it all- the movie business must be falling over themselves to get him now!
