Ideally I would give no stars at all. I read the book when it was published and laughed out loud. Ben Elton funniest since stark but whether it was the cast or the script I don't know but it was so dull.

Nice jokes and Caracters ....and they still trying ..... SOMDVD

A movie about Hugh Laurie shagging? How delightful. No, seriously, it's a cute movie.

I know its natural accent but after becoming a huge fan of 'House' it's very strange seeing and hearing Hugh like this. The same is true of Joely, really English but American in hit show Nip/Tuck... just weird!

Una película decepcionante que empieza muy bien y decae en un terrible final donde se intenta confundir la tragedia con lo tragicómico. Una estrella.

Because it's got Hugh Laurie in it!

It's one of those movies that half-way through, you forget what it's about but you don't really care, because you just enjoy watching the cast. It has Hugh Laurie doing Hugh Laurie things like singing, playing the piano, riding motorcycles and delivering lines with dead-pan brilliance. The rest of the brilliant cast includes: Adrian Lester (Hu$tle) Joely Richardson and Julian McMahon (before they did Nip/Tuck) Dawn French (The Vicar of Dibley) and Joanna Lumley (AB-FAB), and cameos from Rowan Atikinson and Emma Thompson.

Much better than what it is meant to be.. Exceeds own expectations..

Okay so Hugh's character shouldn't have written the script about what was happening to him and his wife but the man needed to do something before he went insane. And some of the best scripts for movies are based off the writers real life. It is a funny British comedy that also has moments where you many need a tissue.

Pap of the highest order. Only Macca singing a Buddy Holly song and brief cameo by Rowan Atkinson added anything for me.

had to see it because of hugh laurie. decent story, good acting, mr. bean was silly.

I just love Hugh Laurie! Rowan Atkinson's character was so unnecessary and dull.

Boring. unfunny. very blah.

I saw this movie mainly because of the cast (House, Tom Quin, Mickey Bricks and Mr. Bean all in one movie!!) There are some funny scenes, but overall not a very impressive.

it was an ok film but I thought it could have been better, I own it on DVD, Rowan Atkinson, Dawn French, Hugh Laurie and Joely Richardson starred in it, it was a great movie, it was directed by Ben Elton

Solid little comedy that works better when it's doing light raunchy comedy, but it struggles when trying to be more dramatic. Laurie is great in the funny scenes but the end of the movie doesn't suit him.

Worth it for Tom Hollander's Sick Junkies pitch alone.

Awful film, The story sucked and the acting wasn't great but I did enjoy Hugh Laurie.

A more realistic romantic comedy. A nice + in my book.

It's weird to imagine that Hugh Laurie is actually British. So many years of playing one character will do that to you. But yea he's a talented man. And so is Joely Richardson, but even their best efforts cannot save this movie. I mean, I say this a lot, but I've seen far worse romantic comedies than this one (eg: License to Wed), but it's seriously one of the most inconsistent movies I've seen in a long time. The tonal shifts in this movie are all over the fucking place. Sometimes it's a drama (bordering on MELODRAMA), sometimes it's a comedy. The main problem with that is that the movie just never TRANSITIONS into drama/comedy, it just cuts to another scene and if that scene happens to be a dramatic scene then so be it. There's no flow to any of the movie to be honest. Not to mention the humor is pretty horrendous. It sort of tries to do an american R-rated style of comedy, but it just didn't work, when I watch british comedies, that's exactly the type of humor I want...British. Not shitty American gross-out humor. Not that there's anything wrong with that...in moderation. I mean Hugh Laurie has some good lines but they're sprinkled in the first part of the movie. The funniest part of the movie was by far Rowan Atkinson. He has such great and over-the-top facial expressions that he doesn't need to say anything and I was laughing. But Rowan's character is only a cameo, which is a shame, which brings me to Emma Thompson. I don't know HOW or WHY they got Emma to do a glorified cameo in this movie, it just baffles my mind. Maybe she owed someone a favor. But yea this movie is pretty bad. Hugh Laurie and Joely Richardson are pretty decent in their roles, so the movie's not absolutely horrendous. I'll probably end up forgetting about this movie by the end of the week, and probably for good reason.
