For years, Archie (Dougray Scott) has been pining for Alice (Jennifer Love Hewitt), the wife of his law partner, Sam (Jimi Mistry). When Archie impulsively sends Alice an anonymous love note, she assumes it to be a playful gesture from her husband, and replies with her own unsigned letter. After Sam hides the note, Alice's sister, Felicity (Kate Miles), convinces her that he must be having an affair. As the extent of Sam's infidelities becomes clear, Alice turns to Archie for support.

An awkward, last-minute romantic dash to Bristol's Temple Meads station in the style of Richard Curtis only serves to underline the air of creative bankruptcy.

John Hay's film has been on the shelf since 2004, and whoever decided to take it from there has some explaining to do.

The film is silly when it should be sexy, witless when trying to be funny. Everyone involved is probably deeply embarrassed to be associated with it.

The truth is, no matter how pretty this picture may be to look at, nothing can conceal its singular lack of humour or heart.

Película romántica genérica con todos los clichés del genero, con un tonito mas picante y subido de tono en los chistes y no mucho mas. Probablemente el cambio de tono entre tímida y bomba sexual de Jennifer Love Hewitt de una escena a otra sea lo mas llamativo de todo (y se agradece).

I was impressed with Hewitt’s accent for her role, but that’s about it. Movie was boring and I couldn’t finish it.

The only reason to watch this movie is for JLH. It's predictable and I'm not buying the chemistry between any of these characters. Tim Treakle

Jennifer Love Hewitt doing a great a British accent or is it dubbed? 2 minutes of this tripe was enough to make me change channels.

Come on! It was very lovable. British romantic comedies are a bit more complex than american ones, so I found that with this rom com. Jimi Mistry is great as always and Jennifer Love Hewitt's character had a strange accent but still was likeable. I enjoyed the film
