Not one but three hapless British chaps (Rufus Sewell, Joseph Fiennes and Tom Hollander) fall for gorgeous American Monica Potter when she arrives in London hoping to start a new life. There's the odd rough patch, but the witty script uses coincidence as a springboard for plot, rather than something to avoid, and shows that a British movie can be both romantic and funny. Potter, despite appearing in some dreadful films (Patch Adams for one), proves to be an adept comedian, coming across as a younger, blonde version of Julia Roberts. At the cinema, the movie suffered from being released around the same time as the Gwyneth Paltrow hit Sliding Doors. Despite its dreadful title, this deserved better.

Two's Company. Three's a Crowd. Four's a Disaster
This was a great British film that deserves a good pat on the back. Not only did the film put together such a wonderfully presented cast that went together so realistically, so precise but it was a fantastic film with an original and laughable plot (which is better than seeing the same story over and over again).

Martha - Meet Frank, Daniel And Laurence
You know when you get a movie purely because of one actor? How about two? Sewell and Feines are perfect in their roles. Being an American in London I only wish I had those men fighting over me. Very well written, terrifically played very much worth a screening. Oh, and quite funny, too.
