Because I thought it was one of those second-reading-mystical movies... But then again, you should never judge a book by the cover, right? So my BF wanted to watch it. <br />I didn't even know Ewan was in it so imagine my face when I saw good old Malcom. <br />It was a nice optimistic movie and a very cute love story. As you said, probably not one of the best of the year but you leave the cinema with such a good feeling.<br /><br />Kristin Scott Thomas was brilliant and the Sheik... OMG!!!

A well-meaning theme and optimistic ending. Don't we all need that? There are two 'cross-cultural' British films screening in our city (in Canada) right now. I've really enjoyed The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel... maybe even more than Salmon Fishing. ;)Artihttp://rippleeffects.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114395886235179043.post-5017606911716162622012-06-05T07:41:52.956+02:002012-06-05T07:41:52.956+02:00@Danielle

And, BTW, you have an amazing blog too! <br />I can't tell you much about the book since I haven't read it. I just read that it is an epistolary novel and that many changes were needed to make it a movie.<br /><br />@Vava <br />I don't know how much you may like McGregor in this role, not a dashing hero but ... good performance. I won't say much more, don't want to give away too many spoilers.<br /><br />Thanks to both for dropping by, reading and commenting :-)Maria Graziahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08876779286144473782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114395886235179043.post-31950148356097643822012-06-04T22:54:21.074+02:002012-06-04T22:54:21.074+02:00This was already on my "to see" list, an...This was already on my "to see" list, and the fact that Ewan McGregor's in it might have its weight ... ;-)Vava, A country dreaming mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05515616816089692865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114395886235179043.post-8471688683461619922012-06-04T22:17:29.267+02:002012-06-04T22:17:29.267+02:00Delurking after following your lovely, heartwarmin...Delurking after following your lovely, heartwarming blog for months.<br /><br />I don't think I had quite realised how strong the romantic element is in this film (that is a recommendation to me). Do you know if the novel differs much on this point? For some reason I have an impression that the book is sadder or darker than the film appears to be.Daniellehttp://romanticarmchairtraveller.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114395886235179043.post-90539244800806561392012-06-04T17:56:40.453+02:002012-06-04T17:56:40.453+02:00@K/V

I went to see it yesterday and really enjoyed it. Good acting all around, wonderful scenery, love, romance and comedy. Probably not THE movie of 2012 but definitely worth watching.Susehttp://twitter.com/suseng3noreply@blogger.com
