Review of Broken English: Three Songs by Marianne Faithfull (1979) by Jasun W — 18 Aug 2009

I hesitate to call this a "romantic comedy" as the acting is far too solid to justify the stigma that (in my mind) comes with that moniker, even though the story line itself is predictable enough to warrant that categorization.

It is in fact very romantic, in a pretty realistic way. And it is also fairly ammusing in it's painfully truthful accurate portrayal of "single life after 30". Which (I believe) tends to be more of a concern for women then it is for men.

I have to say Parker Possey does an amazing job here and really gets to show her acting chops. And Drea de Matteo is perfect as her best friend. Very impressive work from both of them.

So if you are in the mood for a really good (in not a bit predictable) "romantic comedy"...this is a good choice.
