From the aging rocker (Bill Nighy) trying to hang on to fame
to the film doubles holding perfectly normal conversations while simulating sex
scenes. The practically unknown Andrew Lincoln, who’s now best known for
fighting zombies, loving his best friend’s wife, (Keira Knightly in one of her
early roles). Prime Minister Hugh Grant falling for his hottie secretary.
Widower Liam Neeson trying to help his stepson land the girl he loves. The desperately sad Laura Linney trying and failing to have a relationship with the hottie art director at work. For my
money the most powerful scene in the movie has no words. It’s Emma Thompson
standing in a bedroom silently falling apart after her character realizes the
necklace she saw in her husband’s (Alan Rickman) pocket went to another woman. She is heartbreaking.
But I think my favorite “story” has to be Colin Firth as
thriller author Jamie who escapes to the most adorable cabin ever to
write after his girlfriend cheats on him with his brother. Aurelia is the Portuguese
maid sent to help take care of the house (and I guess him). My favorite scene is the two of them jumping into a freezing lake to retrieve his latest book. The two fall in
love despite not knowing a word of the other’s language. There’s a reason why so many women adore Colin
Firth and this movie showcases all of them.
