I missed this when it was in theaters. AS there was much talk about this movie, i watched from DVD. Nick Hornby's novel are generally good and this time Weitz and Co also had success with adaption - although everything got very cheese at the end. But in my mind this is truly Hugh Grant-movie.

I've not read the book so can only comment on the film itself, and for me it works really well due to the cast. I've seen it multiple times and laugh each time I see it, and it is genuinely poignant in parts.

(Rewatch). Rachel Weisz is an angel and Hugh Grant is charming. The movie itself is average.
