Charming and funny lesbian movie minus the politics........2008-02-24
I was surprised just how much I liked this film. It is a warm-hearted lesbian romance with good leads and interesting incidental characters, in particular the parents of the soon-to-be lovers, Rachel and Luce. The script is very witty in parts and is indeed reminiscent of Notting Hill and Four Weddings and a Funeral. Celia Imrie, as Rachel's frustrated mother, is hilarious as is her hectored husband, Anthony Head.
The other male characters are believable and Rachels's husband Heck is almost too nice to be true - you can imagine why you'd want him as a best friend, whatever your sexuality. I found Piper P a little hard to take as a lesbian but Lena Headey as Luce was very credible and dressed and walked like a true member of the club! (If only!) Really, it's just the type of movie to show your parents before you come out - because it normalises the sexuality of gay women in a quiet, non political way. In fact, it even might endear some of those who are naturally less sympathetic to our happy breed.
It is also unusual to see such interesting interaction between a broad sweep of generations, ranging from Rachel's young sister H to Luce's initially depressed mother. As the parents' lives improve, their respective daughters' romance blossoms in a parallel process. Now, that's an subtle idea for a movie about gay characters and what I'd really like to see is a sequel.....
Sweet, well mannered and happy........2008-02-19
This is a very cute film, it is basically a "Love, Actually" type of story where girl meets girl, girl fall for girl, girl tries to forget girl and finally, girl gets girl.
It is refreshing to see the subject treated so sympathetically in a rom-com setting. It could have been done so much worse. OK it isn't deep and it doesn't tax the brain but it engages the emotions quite nicely and it is perfect for a snuggle on the sofa with your best girl, a bottle of wine and a pizza.
Maybe we have seen bits and piecs of it before and the ending sort of reminds me of the end of the first Crocodile Dundee (except with better looking protagonists) but it is sweet.
Oh, and Lena Headey and Piper Perabo are just gorgeous. Shame most of us don't ever get to meet girls like them in real life.
Surprised.......2008-02-04
Its a testament to how well this film was made is that I never even thought of it as a Lesbian Movie until I saw Amazons classification or a hollywood movie until I read the reviews here.
Not a world beating moving but the sort of movie I like. Quiet, about people, no special effects, set in my adopted home city and with a good cast that you get so often in British movies. I guess because they don't have to pay ridiculous amounts for the stars.
I guess the best compliment I can give it is that its like a French movie a la Rohmer.
what a waste.......2008-02-03
Music great ,players brilliant ,therefore i have to ask how they got mixed up in this load of tosh!
It's not funny in any way ,it is in fact fluff and nonsense.
This film supports the reasoning that all's fair in love and that it is all right to destroy someones' marriage ,relationship or family as long as you get what you want!
It also supports that old radical lesbian belief that a "hetrosexual female hasn't met the right woman yet" ,although if what we read ,hear and see around us right now there may be some truth in that "belief"?
Because it appears that meeting a female who hasn't had a sexual encounter with another female is almost unheard of.
RENT DON'T BUY!!
I can't believe those reviewers who gave the movie 1 star!!.......2008-01-09
I do not know what you people are expecting from a movie, but this was one of the greatest romantic comedies about lesbian relationships ever. Ok, I know it is not that typical Hollywood-style movie, but it does not make it a bad one either!
The characters are very sweet and humour is always there, making it at least a nice watch. Lena Headey is gorgeous and anyone who wants to watch something absolutely romantic, sweet, heart-warming and REALISTIC should buy this movie! You will not be disappointed...
P.S. I can understand why some guys in straight relationships gave it a 1 star :) Sorry guys! :P
