Audience Member I watched this movie mainly out of interest in Colin Firth.... I found the movie missing something... It just never got to the point in a convincing fashion... I liked some of the quirky parts, the wedding dress was awesome...I could never wrap my head around Firth speaking, or trying to speak, without his notable British accent... that was tough. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/09/25 Full Review greg h I am a big follower of RT reviews and use it as a guide for viewing movies.But I was stunned when this only receives 1 star.Movies can be rated on several points.In this case criticism was warranted.But what grabbed me about this was how believable the two leads were .At the end of the movie you could see how damaged they were,how believable.Cant say that about most movies Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/29/24 Full Review Test T I watched this on a DVD which was titled "Arthur & Mike", but it's definitely the same movie. Don't be put off thinking it's about golf, because it's not. It's one of those slow reveal films where the viewer is dropped into an unfamiliar situation, and then by accompanying the characters gradually figures out who they are and what they are up to. When executed well, as it is in the case, this approach is very effective at engaging the audience and making fairly ordinary events seem interesting. I thought the film was very well made, making subtle use of a broad range of cinematic and dramatic techniques. Once started, I had too see how it ended, but of course just as the film has no real beginning, it also has no end either! It's just a time slice in the characters lives, where you get to see part of their story. I enjoyed the film, and found it interesting to watch, and would recommend it. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/24/23 Full Review sue b I very happily didn't finish it, only annoyed I had it on in the background long enough to leave a bad taste. So many 'off' things about these lying fake age-inappropriate people, and not enough to make me want to find out any more about them. Yuck. Putting me off Colin Firth actually. Did he just accept the role so he could snog the much younger Emily? Booo Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/22/23 Full Review Audience Member I watched this movie only because of Emily Blunt to see some of her earlier work. Here, she stars alongside the legendary Colin Firth where they basically form new lives and break into people's houses and make love to each other. Clearly not their best work but a very intriguing movie because both of them put on American accents which they do especially well, especially Blunt. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member This was very slow. I tried to watch it a second time and it was still slow and boring. Nothing like able. About the characters. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
