      Screenwriter brain damage

      Two stars, one extra star for Mr Darcy.

      Many places are confusing. For example, the heroine said to take the hero to the park, but she drank it before entering the park, and then returned to the hotel even more inexplicable. There is also the male protagonist who rushed to paint the portrait of the mayor overnight, but the mayor's promise in exchange for it ended without a problem. I originally thought that this place would be the climax of the whole film, but it turned out that it...

      I know this movie doesn't have a good reputation, but

      strangely, I feel it not bad, even a little better than'what a girl wants'. WAGW is totally a teen movie and I was obviously out of that period long time ago.

      Okay, I admit Heather Graham isn't good enough, but I do like the performance of Minnie Driver and, of course, Colin. I watched'circle of friends' before. It also stars both Minnie and Colin (a small part tho) and Minnie's work in COF didn't strike me. But she plays Vera very well here. I guess it's the role that makes a...

      Look so happy! Colin fans must not miss it. This is a Colin you have never seen, but you want to see it in your dreams.

      Seeing Darcy hitting the glass door with his head, seeing the beauty undressing incoherently, he bought a lot of paint back and thought he wanted to give the beauty portrait, it turned out to please the mayor. Especially when I saw him shaking his two long thighs and hugging the beauty all the way, I wonder if this woman has cultivated the blessing for several lifetimes to make my dear Darcy hug and walk so far? Frequently crossing, why is this woman so lucky to act with Darcy, and it's rare...

      Why did the heroine suddenly start drinking and undressing when they met for the second time at the beginning? I really don't understand how this happened. The teacher's real name is even played. I don't know how I feel...

    Evaluation action

    If the crew can't hire or can't hire Hugh Grant, Colin Firth shouldn't be allowed to star in "Hope Springs." The whole movie, written and directed by Mark Herman, gives the audience the feeling of watching a specific scene. Colin Firth is not good at making self-deprecating witty words, and Hugh Grant can say these words with a flick of his forehead. He is not a frivolous and changeable actor, on the contrary, he is a steady actor....
