Review of Born Romantic (2000) by Gareth R — 13 Sep 2007
Like This Year's Love, a film about 'ordinary' people having modern relationships in London. - I love Ian Hart but his hair, or lack of it, is as compelling as his pseudo philosophical mars&venus advice or 'wisdom'.
Adrian Lester is dignified as ever, and Craig Ferguson does cheeky - just for a change. Jane Horrocks is v good and her scenes with her'ex' David Morrissey are well played. Some nice quirky ideas and dysfunctionally believable relationships and attempts at forming them, but I'd never call this a 'romantic' film. Not hugely comic either, more of a watch-in-disbelief late-at-night film, worth seeing, but not groundbreaking. The dancing is a bit annoying too - at least they don't suddenly become outrageously 'good' I suppose. The best thing in it though has to be Craig Ferguson' table... briliant!
