Description

A comedy of discriminating taste and dirty little secrets. When a movie star and Hollywood diva Miranda Frayle break up, a playboy prince with a stiff upper lip sweeps her off her feet and boldly takes her home to meet his high-class, society-minded mother, who is none-too-pleased at the thought of having a "starlet" in the family. But when the former boyfriend hears about the wedding, he jumps back in the spotlight--and with the help of Miranda's meddling mother-in-law to be, he may just win her back.

Loved this film! Julie Andrews & Colin Firth make the film! Very witty & fast-paced!

3 out of 5 stars Relative Values.......2007-02-22

This was a cute story with Colin Firth in a role similar to the ones George Sanders used to play. Of course, Julie Andrews was great as usual.

4 out of 5 stars It's not Shakespear, but it is a good light watch.......2006-04-10

I bought this primarily because it has Colin Firth in it. Even though the back of the box says he's the playboy engaged to Jeanne Tripplehorn, he's not. He plays Peter, Lady Marshwood's nephew.

However, His character, Peter is funny. He can convey more with a facial expression than the American actors in the movie. As always, Julie Andrews gives a wonderful performance.


A good light watch for a rainy afternoon!

4 out of 5 stars Frothy? Yes. Fun? You bet!.......2005-11-06

OK, OK, so it's not "Citizen Kane", but this is a fluffy, sweet little comedy, perfect for a rainy day. I agree with most of the other reviewers that the British Cast (especially Andrews, who is perfect for the role) is great. The Americans (Baldwin & Tripplehorn) are simply awful. I realize the entire premise of the movie would be gone without the Americans, but I enjoyed the film a lot more when they weren't around! But the film breezes along at a nice clip (not like the recent God-awful Robert Altman manor film, which bored me to tears). So put your feet up, grab a martini and enjoy. It really is sad that this kind of movie rarely makes it into the theatres. Brain-dead, illiterate teens are the market the studios go after, and the rest of us yearn for the day when the "Art Theatre" (as opposed to a pimply-faced "Multiplex) returns.

This was a cute movie. Right now I can't particularly remember anything about it except that it was cute.... fluff... Seeing it once was enough.
