Fantastic!

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Sweet fluffy story about four mismatched but made for each other couples in London: A goofy Scotsman (the always entertaining Craig Fergusson) and a chilly art conservator; a melancholy habitué of a cemetery and a well-meaning thief; a bitter jilted woman and the remorseful man who left her at the altar eight years before; a cabbie (the omg gorgeous and super-talented Adrian Lester - you remember him, he was Henry in Primary Colors) who helps the other couples sort it out and finally finds his way clear to put his grief for his dead wife aside so he can embrace life (in the form of a very alive salsa teacher) once again.This is all played out in the aforementioned cemetery, inside Lester's cab, the winterly streets and parks of London, a salsa club, Kings Cross Station, various crappy flats and the Elgin Marbles Hall at the British Museum.If you're home with a cold and this comes on the telly watch it.

Not that great movie as I thought, simple script and easy making end... although the personalities were verry nice! Not just 3 hot babes and 3 great looking men.. but just 3 totally different persons. That gives the movie flair. Nice but not more movie.

Was absolutely delighted by everything about this movie. The characters are interesting and fun, the sound track captivating and the story simple, honest and very funny. The well selected cast create real magic making this a true "feel good" experience. Highly recommended (if you a romantic too).

Centred around a salsa club and a taxi driven by the wise Jimmy, this romantic tale sees three couples struggling to work things out. Fergus is trying to find the girlfriend he ditched eight years ago, Frankie is trying to woe Eleanor, while thief Eddie struggles to turn over a new leaf for weirdo grave decorator Jocelyn.British comedies all want to be The Full Monty – they want to be funny but they also want to try and have real characters and gritty surroundings. It has become a bit of a cliché but I still prefer it to the US romantic comedy which usually fall into the mushy camp. Here the plot focuses on three couples who struggle with slightly unusual problems but are pretty good characters. The comedy is light and doesn't always work as it falls under the gritty mood, but it's still amusing.The focus on the salsa club is a little bit of a cash in on an ongoing popular fad in the UK (at time of writing!) but it works well and the music is pretty cool. Certainly those who have tried to impress girls at these places will relate to the difficulties in some cases. The weakest bit for me was the focus on Jimmy as the wise old man of the piece. It is good that he learns a lesson himself later but for most of the film he is a bit arrogant and is put forward as better than everyone else in the film. It took away from the reality of the other characters to have this wise cab driver in there too.The cast are all pretty good though. Ferguson, Mistry and Morrissey are all convincing as the men although Horrocks, McCormack and Williams have less to do, but are still pretty good. Lester is a good actor and holds the eye but I found his character so annoying that it was hard work to care. Hart and Thomson are both amusing but underused in a couple of cameos.Overall this is in line with the pitch of recent Brit romantic comedies such as `This Years Love' and is better than the romantic mush we get from across the pond. The gritty feel is good even if the comedy is a little lacking. The characters are mostly relatable (even where the plot isn't always) but Lester's Jimmy is like putting some sort of Jesus character in the middle of Eastenders - totally unbelievable and a little annoying.
