Title: Better with each viewing
Review: The first time I watched this film, I was less than impressed. Not being personally involved with a sports fanatic, I could not understand "Paul's" obsession with English football (or Soccor, as we Americans would call it), or "Sarah's" finally coming to accept his addiction. But after several subsequent viewings, my opinion improved. When I approached it not as a love story, which I had expected it to be, but more of a tale of personal growth, I enjoyed it much more. In fact, I would have to rate it right behind "Bridget Jones's Diary" to be my 3rd favorite Colin Firth film ("Pride & Prejudice" is, of course, first). All of the actors are very good, and watching the sequences of his adolescence makes the viewer aware of life's many passages. All in all, an excellent film.
