Nigel Andrews

Financial Times

The script by Blackadder’s Richard Curtis and direction by Mike Newell give this comical romantic froth such an eager whisk that it stands up and assaults the taste buds.

John Petrakis

Chicago Tribune

It is smart and ironic, perceptive and observant, witty and poignant, moving and sad, all at the same time. This is more than an accomplishment for a romantic comedy. This is a small miracle.

Rated: 3.5/4

Derek Malcolm

Guardian

Newell, a director like Stephen Frears who has no particular style but fits his undoubted expertise to the material, has to be congratulated not only for getting such good performances but for the pace and verve with which he lays out the absurdities.

Rene Jordan

El Nuevo Herald (Miami)

Mike Newell, director of Enchanted April, has made an even more charming movie. Richard Curtis' screenplay shuffles at least 20 characters, all outlined with strict economy. [Full review in Spanish]

John Millar

Daily Record (UK)

This is a glorious, entertaining, fast-moving, hilarious comedy, packed with great jokes, scattered like confetti and delivered by a cast who act their socks off.

Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/08/24 Full Review Nguyen N lovely story, perfect for a saturday night. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/26/24 Full Review Gertrude F A charming, clever, comedy with a wonderful cast and the best opening sequence. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/06/24 Full Review Alec B There are some great moments and Grant is effortlessly charming, but the movie is much flimsier than people remember (so many great actresses wasted playing non-characters, some really grating dialogue, and an ending that feels a little unearned) Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/05/24 Full Review Hayley M An entertaining film that can be relatable! Hugh grant character is a floppy bunny who needs to grow a spine!! Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
