Title: Entertaining, good actors, but does no justice to the book
Product review: The film flows very well (you do not get bored for a second), script is smooth and tight and maintains nice rhytm. All the leading cast is exquisite (and Hugh Grant looks so much better in the role of a heartless two-timing bastard than in his usual application of an oh-so-cute puppy-eyed stammering British nancy-boy), the British home counties accent of the Texan Renee is accomplished and good jokes abound.However, the book on which it is based is so much more complex and intriguing. It is not the fault of this movie: only so much plot can be crammed into a limited time, and I should have known better than watch a film based on a book when I know already what's in the book.It will make a very pleasant evening watch, maybe one day you will rent it again, but I would think twice before adding it to my DVD collection.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
