  Excellent viewing
  
  Great acting and good script. Enjoyed every minute which is what I expected when I rented the film. I would certainly recommend it for a good nights viewing.

  Good entertainment and excellent acting from Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson. Storyline is slightly predictable, but who cares? Just sit back, relax and enjoy

  There's a good bit at the start where the two main characters are narginalised in the midst of everything - a feature of modern London and other cities ... read more »

  Sweet but bit slow for me
  
  Cute film to watch with your folks. I watched it with my papa and he enjoyed it but i found it a bit slow and boring at times.
