If you haven't seen this movie and you want something on the lines of Four Weddings and a Funeral or The Tall Guy, then you are really missing out. I'm not kidding, James Frain is excellent as the smug, cool barrister. It has everything in it from laughs to romance. I don't know if it's out on DVD, but if it isn't, someone should really open their eyes and push for its release. It has an excellent cast, including Charles Dance, Michael Gough and a cameo by Harry Enfield, and has all the humour that a British film should have. I watch this film every year, and it is certainly one to watch with your girlfriend to score a few points!
