Very best movie i ever watch

The Age of Commercialism

Really Surprised!

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

A waste of time think Hugh grant is getting a little old for Rom com s or past it ... watched it because was a fan of Hugh grant like four weddings and about a boy and Bridget Jones diary etc .. but this one don't really work not as bad did you hear about the Morgans that was awful .. but the acting is quite poor .. which turns you off a bit

Grant's a lesson in urbanity and wit in most of his movies but never as convincingly as here in this low budget but perfectly cast and beautifully written light comedy set in Binghamton, New York. The movie is about a Hollywood screenwriter who hasn't had a hit in years whose agent gets him a paying 'gig' as a college instructor teaching screen writing.Marisa Tomei gets into his class, J.K. Simmons is Head of his department, and Chris Elliott also teaches at the college and lives next door. Allison Janney plays a pivotal part as the fearsome Professor Weldon, the Head of the Ethics Committee, in front of which Grant is taken for having an innocent affair with one of his students.All in all I thought the comedic timing and direction near perfect and more than a little enjoyable. Clearly the stars here read the script and thought it delightful. With one caveat, that I've taught and live in a college town, I highly recommend. Hugh Grant fans will be especially enthralled but this should be a good choice for any guy too.

First i must say i am not the biggest fan of Hugh Grant acting. I find him good in Love, Actually... Nothing Hill and recently in The Man from U.N.C.L.E... what i have to say is that we finally have a serious actor here. An actor that seems to love what he is doing again. Like the old days when he start in the UKs. This movie is all about art, literature but explain not in a boring way but in a smart and funny way. Our protagonist, Hugh Grant is a loner, alcoholic, he is divorced and has not spoke to his son since a year.Here, he start by developing a romance with a young student about 20 years old (yeah he is really 50+) but really he don't look like a 50 years old man. I had to check here in IMDb because i was thinking he was like 43-44. So, his romance start and secretly, but soon many will knows and it won't help our ''anti-hero''.He need that ''kick in the arse'' to get back on track on his life, and he start to enjoy what he is doing. I love where they go with that film and i also love the non-happy ending Hollywood like to give to us. Sure, it is more of an independent film but it is very professional and i'm impressed also by the acting of Marisa Tomei and J.K. Simmons. Recommended.

Keith Michaels (Hugh Grant) is a sharp-tongued Oscar-winning screenplay writer of the popular "Paradise Misplaced". That was 15 years ago and he has fewer options now. His agent gets him a job teaching a screen writing course at Binghamton University in upstate New York. He sleeps with college student Karen before even starting his class. Dr. Lerner (J.K. Simmons) is the department chairman and he's fighting with Jane Austen expert Professor Mary Weldon (Allison Janney). He doesn't believe in teaching writing, and picks mostly hot girls with a couple of nerdy guys for his class. He is hounded by single mom Holly Carpenter (Marisa Tomei) who really wants to be a writer.Hugh Grant is having a bit of fun spreading his charm around whether it's wanted or not. He reunites with Marc Lawrence but the writing could be sharper. It is filled with quips from Grant but not all of it sticks. Tomei is lovely and I wish the movie concentrated on her more. In a rom-com, she needs to have more screen time. Also she is too nice and perfect. It doesn't lend itself for outrageous fun. She's kindly charming. The movie has a great cast and they keep the middling material chugging along.
