Audience Member I'm caught in the middle of thinking I wouldn't like it, liking it, and remembering it not being that great in the future. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/29/24 Full Review Audience Member Made me feel better on a Sunday afternoon when I was sick. Great movie. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/18/24 Full Review Roger B Like most Simon Pegg films, over-rated. Kinda makes me wish I'd got into film at 18 rather than doing what I did, which, to be fair, was nothing. This is back-handedly aimed at the US market (e.g. the way he slams his cash down on the counter when buying the Red Stripes, you can see what he was trying to emulate) but it was the best we could do at the time and it 'passed'. 2/5. Could do better. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/04/24 Full Review Daniel W 6/10 - A goodish comedy that made me chuckle a few times and I would enjoy seeing it again. Meet Jack (Simon Pegg) a 40 year old newly single man whose going through a tough deforce, but is about to go on a blind date with a girl called Jessica (Ophelia Lovibond) right? Wrong, meet Nancy (Lake Bell) a girl who finds out about the blind date and in the spur of the moment decides to pretend to be Jessica and goes on a date with Jack. Overall I really enjoyed this film but I felt like it took a little while to get going, then Jessica and Jack go bowling and that's when I started chuckling. The film also gets better when Nancy bumps into her old highschool friend, Sean (Rory Kinnear), at the bowling alley amd he threatens to tell Jack the who Nancy really is. This then leads to a funny blackmailing scene between Nancy and Sean. But the funniest scene is at the end when Jack finds out Nancy's secret at a bar. But even though this does lead to the funniest bit of the film, it also leads to an argument which makes the film drag on for a bit. Then right at the end of the film, it gets funny again and overall I had a good time with this film. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/13/24 Full Review Wildflower R An engaging rom com that succeeds in making you care about the characters and root for their (predictably) getting together in the end. It's the getting there that matters. There are a few crass moments (the sleazy "blackmail" restroom encounter is one--it would have been easy for Nancy to tell the high school acquaintance that she hadn't seen in years that she now went by "Jessica"--I had a HS friend who later decided to go by her middle name--and thus avoid the fuss), but I liked the film enough to purchase it. Lake Bell's British accent is amazing. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/24 Full Review Dee F Fine example of the genre. Hits all the right notes with just enough quirk to make it feel fresh. Lovely to see Rory Kinnear being silly. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
