Excellent, a Must See

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

The acting in this movie is really good.

Maybe the movie only "deserves" a 6 out of 10, but our main actors and their interplay alone is worth that extra point I gave it. It really feels like those two know each other their whole life, but we knew how good both are acting wise. The movie is also not really hiding the fact that it knows that we know where it is heading. We shall have fun on the ride there though.And we can have fun, if we let ourselves. It's easy like that, just enjoy the two and some odd jokes along the way (let's call a repeated joke video chat "bombing", taken from photo bombing someone of course). Characters are very aware of what they are doing and in what movie they are in (villains are villains you see). Just enjoy if for what it is :o)

An honest to goodness fun British comedy. Brosnan and Thomson are very funny with great backup from Timothy Spall and Celia Imrey. Great to see a film with a story, albeit simple, but with well crafted script. There are several scenes mimicking some great movies and the tongue in cheek way the whole story is put together brings a lot of smiles and some very funny laugh out loud moments. There are a lot of films currently available that are nowhere near as funny as this one, although critics ratings often seem to describe them otherwise. Haven'T seen any film critic reviews for this film, but I am sure it would not fit with the stuffy and serious ilk that befits the modern critics seem to think we may like.

Review: This film is really bad. The storyline is completely ridiculous and Brosnan and Thompson make fools out of themselves. The chemistry between the two characters isn't bad, but it's not enough to make the movie enjoyable. Basically, Pierce Brosnan's business gets taken from him so he tries to get the business back with the help of Thompson who also has personal investments in the business. After failing terribly at that task, they decide to steal a precious diamond from the person who took his business, and that's were the storyline just goes from bad to worse. In some ways, it's a light hearted feel good movie that is totally not to be taken seriously, but on the basis of entertainment, I just didn't find it funny the characters got on my nerves after a while. Disappointed!Round-Up: After seeing many interviews with Emma Thompson, this movie does suit her humorous personality which is full of wit, but the script was terrible and I'm sure that everyone would be stealing a diamond if it was so easy. I am quite a fan of Pierce Brosnan but he seems to be taking on some weird roles lately, like The Long Way Down and Love Is All You Need. I'm hoping that his career will take a turn like Liam Neeson who has blossomed in the latter part of his career. It's basically down to the roles that he picks because his performances are usually quite good. I know that he's trying to get rid of the whole Bond typecasting, but I can't wait to see him kicking butt again. At the end of the day, I doubt that this movie will damage all of the work that Thompson and Brosnan has done in the past, but they could do with a major blockbuster as there next projects. Budget: N/A Worldwide: $5millionI recommend this movie to people who are into there romantic comedies about a group of friends who try a steal a diamond from a man who destroys Brosnan's business. 3/10

I do enjoy a good British romantic comedy. My guilty pleasure I guess. They just make you laugh and feel good, just a little escapism and shouldn't be taken seriously. Being serious, well, that's for other films. Having said that, this movie has so many things wrong with it, it should be a huge failure, but oddly enough I loved it. I thought the two leads Pierce Brosnan and Emma Thompson were exceptionally well cast as they were so believable and likable. The other "good guy" Anglo-Saxon characters were good and as in so many other British films, the bad guys were French. I'm not sure how to judge their performances. The French accents were really dodgy at best and totally unbelievable, but this just added to all the fun. You know what? I must just watch this again, now.
