For our traditional-occasional FNCFN* yesterday, we watched the above film. Previous FNCFNs have seen me veto the film on the grounds that I was convinced that it would be shite. How wrong I was.
The calibre of the actors was incredible, really incredible. The scenery and imagery of the film was beautiful and I am glad that we chose to watch the HD version. The plot is highly predictable, however that in no way diminished my enjoyment - it was clear from the start that everything would work out ok in the end, though there is one blindside in there.
In terms of comedy, it really delivered. Not big laughs, but constant smiles and hearty chuckles throughout, which left both of us still smiling beyond the closing credits. The humour was, for the most part, predictable but executed in such a way that you couldn't resist being drawn in by it.
I highly recommend this film, which really does justice to the genre of 'feel good film'.
