Best movie ever!

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Blistering performances.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Great film that has the wonderful ability to be both very funny and very touching. The acting by the main characters really allows the viewer to see into their relationship. The supporting characters add depth to an already deep relationship and help the view to understand why the two characters act as they do. I would recommend it to anyone.

This is such a weird little film, with a very twisted heroine, but after the first few minutes of the film one finds oneself falling for her lock, stock and barrel. I like the literary references that fall from characters' lips like diamonds. I also think that it is one of Jeremy Northam's most wonderful performances. He doesn't get a huge amount to do, but what he does do is so subtle and nuanced, it's a joy (as usual) to watch. Parker Posey is like a young Kate Hepburn, whirling her way through an insane but sexually charged plot. Or perhaps she's more like Carole Lombard in My Man Godfrey, just completely nuts.It does fall down in places during the first eighteenth century bits, but then the joke there becomes clear, as well as the significance it holds. I haven't read the novel but hope to get my hands on it. It sounds such fun.I do wish I could own this film, to complete my Jeremy Northam collection. I also wish the soundtrack were available, because the music is quite charming.I do like the cheerful slightly confused sexuality portrayed by both the heroine and her eighteenth century counterpart, it's quite refreshing to see the subject treated so matter-of-factly.Rent this film, it's a lot of fun!

There is nothing new about a film where a happily married couple split up; not because they don't love each other, but because of the crazy friends/circumstances who surround them. Every decade there are at least 2 dozen such films. "His Girl Friday" and "The Last Married Couple In America" come to mind. And truthfully, there is nothing is this screenplay that makes this film special. It is, however, saved by a throughly delightful cast and a director who was not too heavy on the schmaltz; although the kooky does get to be a bit much. If you interested in a pleasant diversion, you could to worse than see this film.

Saw at LFF - very good indeed.Go and see for Brooke Shields; she is a riot as a lesbian femme fatale!Parker is a bit irritating, but beautiful!Good film.
