Just perfect...
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
I thoroughly enjoyed this film. Simply a sequence of individual vignettes into the lives of various couples on Hampstead Heath. Nothing much happens, but there's some wonderful characterisation, nice dialogue and a few (albeit slightly predictable) twists and turns along the way.While it can in no way be regarded as entirely "happy", it also eschewed the tendency of many British films to be unremittingly miserable and the sun shone the whole time.Slightly confused by the title, however. Clearly the scenes themselves were of a sexual nature, but that kind of reference conjures up images of a film with, lets say, a bit more than simple talking involved. Not that I was disappointed in this, but I could imagine some people being a bit misled and complaining about not getting their money's worth.
This film is about the encounters of 7 couples on Hampstead heath in one sunny Wednesday afternoon.It shows 7 different types of couples: married, divorced, breaking up a relationship, homosexual, elderly, blind date and escort service. They are not connected to each other apart from the geographical location, so that is a disappointment. The film is a collage of conversations, without any discernible plot. The film jumps from a pair to another without any logic. I find this film boring and purposeless. The only redeeming feature is the great weather throughout the film. It is sad that talents like Ewan McGregor and Sophie Okonedo get wasted by this film.
I give it THREE strong STARS* at my scale.Additional comments:I will not comment on budget nor on likes and dislikes. Leaving the house after the movie I felt lighthearted with aftertaste of human nature irony.* ---I suggest an independent approach to rating a movie that I use myself and as it proved to be helpful to my friends. This approach does not reflect any specific quality, like playing of actors or camera work or director or script or even budget. Instead, it ranges the work as a whole indicating its consumer value and time-provedness. The rating can be easily applied to other entertainment articles like music CDs, books or performances thus making the method universal and simple for both using and understanding. It ranges from one to ten stars according to the statements:1*......... - I started watching but quit before the end. (I left the house)2**........ - I could hardly sit out till the end.3***....... - I saw it once. (It's worth watching once)4****...... - I saw it and would recommend it to my friends. (It's a discovery!)5*****..... - I would watch it again and could join a company. (Next time I can invite my friends).6******.... - I can go and watch it many times. (I must check if they sell it?)7*******... - I saw it and am about to buy a copy. (Happy to have it on my shelf)8********.. - I saw it and bought it, I enjoy re-watching selected episodes.9*********. - I saw and bought it - it comes as a source of citations.10********** - I saw and bought it, the source of all time enjoyment, my favorite. (Next generation will appreciate it like in 10 or 20 years as well)If you'd like to use the method please mention it as "illustris Star Scale"
the acting is good.thats the positives out of the way! SOSN is shallow and superficial.Almost all the characters are middle class and English.The gay men are depicted as fickle sexual predators aiming to use children in their empty lives.This film could only appeal to people who know hampstead heath and would get minor satisfaction from pointing out any landmarks.There is no time to engage with the characters and has a result you really don,t care about them,Catherine Tate at the height of her comedic fame stars as a woman seeking a divorce from her husband and on screen for about the same time as her Nana sketches failed to convince,however if she had said "what a f****** liberty" i would have agreed I'd rather take a walk in the Park;unintelligent rubbish!
