Good film with some laugh out loud moments
1 April 2006
Warning: Spoilers
Basically Sam(Hugh Grant) and Rebecca(Julianne Moore) are living together and seem to have this perfect life. Suddenly Rebecca tells Sam that they are going to have a baby. He's very unwilling to accept this as it means he'll have to give up on a few things such as his beloved car, as it only fits two people. Rebecca dumps him after a while due to his lack of enthusiasm but then he eventually wins her back. They get married and she has the baby. I think other IMDb members are far too critical about this film. Of course its nit going to win any Oscars but it is a funny rom-com. Its not trying to be this great dramatic film. There was a few really funny moments. I laughed so much when they had the fight with the dinosaur and when Sam kept crashing into people when he was trying to get Rebecca to the hospital. I think Hugh Grant is a very good actor and he did a relatively good job in this film. I also think Robin Williams was so funny as the doctor. I think the Dwyer family added a lot of humour to the film.

But there were some bad moments in the film. The scene where Rebecca and Gail had their babies was completely over the top and something you would expect in a kids show, but yet i still found it funny. Also did Sam get rid of the cat? He should have because that would have meant he was really prepared to give up some of his life for the baby (because the doctor said the cat could be unhygienic to have around when the baby was born. Sam didn't want to give the cat away because he had it for many years) Also i didn't feel like there was any chemistry between Sam and Rebecca

However I still enjoyed the film and i would recommend it if you want a light hearted, funny film to relax to.
