Michael's Movie Grade: C
A pleasant but forgettable romantic drama.
With a lovely English backdrop, Rolfe Kent's charming score, a leisurely pace and a top-notch cast (including Scarlett Johansson, Sienna Miller, Emily Beecham and Kristin Scott Thomas (who also directed and co-wrote this film), this film provides a nice, pleasant trip to the movies. Because of this there is definitely enough to enjoy about it. However, when you get past the pleasant exterior, you find that this movie is completely hollow inside. There is no depth or emotional center to latch on to. Though this movie tries to have some serious drama and a message towards the last act, this again rings hollow as the drama never feels real to us and the message feels forced.
Though pleasant enough, this movie lacks any real depth and there it becomes hard for it to stand out among many similar movies.
