I downloaded it with an eDonkey, and it went very fast. I guess many people have also watched it. But found few reviews. It's a bit of a surprise, because I always feel that this kind of romantic comedy is very popular when it comes out, and this one is not so vulgar.
The whole movie feels very smooth, and it feels good to watch. Murphy's acting is also good, but it feels a little fake (I always thought that the boy she liked was gay, and she was blindly helping people introduce boyfriends). I always thought she was very American chick. This time she played an American girl who was an assistant in a British vogue magazine, which was more appropriate. I didn't let her suffocate her British accent, so I would forgive her for a while.
The plot is very simple. It discusses the existence of true love, the classic plot of love movies. I like it because I believe the conclusion it draws: there is no true love at all, it just requires you to make choices, and then work on and maintain.
Finally, there is a movie that tells us bluntly that there is no so-called true love, so-called love at first sight. It's a good thing, don't live in that silly waiting and hesitation.
There is a classic love movie inserted in the movie. It is the opposite play between Gwyneth and Bloom. It is very classic, but it is actually very artificial. Their performances are also good, and the eyes and gestures of lovers when they meet again are vividly reflected in the language of the past movies.
Life is never as good (as contrived) as a love movie, but what's so bad about that.
