Nigel Andrews Financial Times Feb 29, 2024
The script by Blackadder’s Richard Curtis and direction by Mike Newell give this comical romantic froth such an eager whisk that it stands up and assaults the taste buds. Go to Full Review John Petrakis Chicago Tribune Feb 29, 2024
3.5/4
It is smart and ironic, perceptive and observant, witty and poignant, moving and sad, all at the same time. This is more than an accomplishment for a romantic comedy. This is a small miracle. Go to Full Review Derek Malcolm Guardian Feb 29, 2024
Newell, a director like Stephen Frears who has no particular style but fits his undoubted expertise to the material, has to be congratulated not only for getting such good performances but for the pace and verve with which he lays out the absurdities.

3.5/4
It's that rare romantic comedy that deserved its riches, given its penchant for avoiding brain-dead formula almost every step of the way. Go to Full Review Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) Feb 29, 2024
Mike Newell, director of Enchanted April, has made an even more charming movie. Richard Curtis' screenplay shuffles at least 20 characters, all outlined with strict economy. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review John Griffin Montreal Gazette Feb 29, 2024
4/5

Melissa L @Agent99 Sep 10, 2026 It was a great love story, with a great ending. See more Lee P @RT09950762 Aug 23, 2026 Such an awful film , just awful . I love comedy films but I really struggled to find any comedy in this See more Anonymous A @anonymous3287 Jul 27, 2026 The male protagonist is extremely pathetic and emasculated. Carrie is an unlikable cheater and adulterer who exploited his feelings for her while keeping him as a backup option in case things don't work out. This is not what love is but obsessive infatuation with someone who slept with over 50 people right until the moment she gets married and then comes crying to someone she used when it doesn't work out. See more Frans B @FransB Jul 25, 2026 Very good and timeless classic. Stellar cast all in their prime, delivering benchmark performances. Typical English humor which is always entertaining, fresh and very sharp. Well written and great cinematography. Hugh Grant is the only obvious choice for lead, rest of cast brings all the sophistication, awkwardness and off beat wit. Very entertaining, hilarious at times and very memorable See more Kyle M @RT77296778 Jul 20, 2026 Comedically sophisticated in socially examines romantic pursuits with unexpected meaningfulness frivolously and formulaically deepening the thought, charismatically led by Grant’s career-defining performance.
