Did anyone get around to seeing this?
I just saw it tonight and I was REALLY impressed! I thought it looked like it had potential from the trailers, but wow, it never looked that good!
The movie is almost non-stop hilarious. I couldn't stop laughing for almost the entire film, yet it still is a fairly serious movie with a message. WTF? That is really hard to do! I cannot believe they pulled it off. It's one of the funniest movies I've seen all year and doesn't rely on any immature humor, which is even more refreshing.
I thought it would be more strongly a romance film with some comedy, but I was totally wrong, luckily. It is much more a pure comedy with a little bit of romance. It's a romantic comedy, but not a chick flick at all. At least, I don't think so. I think guys will appreciate it more than girls in some ways, because after all the main character is Hugh Grant. He's great in it. His character is really awesome, lol, the best scenes are at the start where he is totally shallow. I see why this movie has good staying power. It definitely is a movie I'd recommend to others.
CMJ did you see this yet? I can't believe I nearly missed it, been three weeks and I finally got to it, but it was well worth seeing.
By the way, my AOTC viewing after About A Boy officially marked my 80th viewing of a movie in theaters this year! Wow. I'm on record pace, to say the least, hehe.
Changing Lanes was #50 and I loved that movie, so I hope my #100 viewing can be of AOTC also. I am pretty sure it will be (or I can make it be intentionally, I mean, hehe).
