5 stars (Exceptional) Lovely story; very witty script. Miraculous acting & great cinematography. Directed by Spanish isabel Coixet, one of the world's greatest directors today. Watch her other movies too; but you will love this, its really perfect! ~Sandy
3 stars (Good Enough) Mortimer, Nighy, and Clarkson is a very appealing cast. The screenplay is fine. ~Tubbs
4 stars (Very Good) Delightful (sometimes delightfully sad) film with a standout cast and some lovely performances. I dare you not to run out and buy a book after viewing. ~trauma_hound412
