Great film

As an emotionally repressed manly man i find myself venturing back to this soppy floppy luvvy wuvvy story every now and again to purge myself of all weakness in the form of tears. Either that or it reminds me of a good girl i once lost due to long distance. There are some canyons in the plot line but all are ameliorated with British humour and cringe inducing indignities most of us can relate to. I call a film like this comfort food. Something easy to throw on when you don't want to think so much but simultaneously be reminded of the most painful moments of your life.

That line of Rosie's describes the plot of the film pretty well. Rosie and Alex have been friends and best mates ever since their early childhood, but somehow they keep missing the moment when it comes to taking the next step in their relationship. So life gets in the way and separates them. Again and again, pretty much every time they meet up. Yes, the end is predictable, but the road there has all the twists and turns and ups and downs and numerous pot holes of an Irish country lane. The fun of watching this lies not in speculating how it will end, but what obstacle may lie around the next corner and how it'll be overcome.The casting is perfect. Lily Collins is sweet and young enough to be convincing and lovable as Rosie, Sam Claflin has exactly the right kind of boyish charme to make the somewhat confused character of Alex work. My favourite character was Rosie's worldly wise friend Ruby, played by Jaime Winstone in a winning performance, with Lorcan Cranitch as Rosie's supportive dad also worth a mention.I have just one tiny little problem with the film: The source novel is set in Ireland, it's written by an Irishwoman (for heaven's sake, her father is a one time Irish prime minister!), it's unmistakably filmed in Ireland - yet for some strange reason they have painted the green pillar boxes red and put British licence plates on the cars and try to make us believe it's England. For anybody who knows Dublin and environs, this is just a bit weird. I suspect it's similarly disconcerting for viewers on the other side of the Atlantic who are familiar with the real Harvard and Boston and/or the Canadian fiming locations used.Overall, the film is a refreshingly different little romcom which provides an hour and a half of easy escapism. The acting is good, the leads supremely likable. Well worth watching. The DVD includes several extra features: Interviews with actors Lily Collins (Rosie) and Sam Claflin (Alex), also with Cecilia Ahern who wrote the novel, and there is a making of featurette and a music video.

A great read from start to finish at me griped from the first page

Just a perfect rom/com movie at this time. Sam Claflin, an actor of such versatile roles, and Lily Collins showing us that timing is the most important thing to bring together two people destined for each other. A movie to watch more than once.
