Review of An Awfully Big Adventure (1995) by Private U — 01 Jun 2008

Officially my favourite film of ALL time. The casting in this is just killer - everyone is absolutely perfect in their roles and the characters of Hugh Grant and Alan Rickman are simply wonderful! There isn't a single personality that hasn't been developed and given a bold but realistic edge, and there are so many little sub plots going on that this film has literally everything you could ask for - comedy, drama, romance and tragedy, it?s all there! There is a shocking and heart breaking twist at the end which leads to the death of probably my favourite character of all time, but some how you eventually come to realise that An Awfully Big Adventure isn?t supposed to have an happy ending.
