thats pretty much the message that every British Rom Com delivers. And our society as a whole.

the character is exceptionally annoying, and the scenarios are contrived and bear little relation to real life.

the gags are unfunny and are signposted so blatently that the director may as well be hitting the audience over the head with a mallet.

I rate BJ's, Karlos..... 8O :lol: :lol: 8)

Sorry Holly - I honestly didn't like it (OK - to be fair, there were a couple of funny lines, and Hugh Grant was quite good). I'm not being snobbish - I quite liked Notting Hill and other films of that ilk - I just wasn't feeling this one.

No need to apologise my dear. :lol: I'm still going to see it. :D

I seem to remember you have a strict set of criteria where BJ rating is concerned (not from personal experience people. It was an early topic in the filth forum). :lol:

I don't understand why girls like it so much, or profess to identify with it. If I was a woman I'd be mortified with humiliation at being portrayed in this way in popular culture.

Sync, in a way, and depending on your circumstances, a girl can easely feel identification with her. You can't imagine the pressure on a girl when you reach your 35 and you don't have boyfriend. It's ridiculous, I know, but it's like this 8O
