Articles tagged "hugh grant" Film ReviewMusic and Lyrics (2007)by Cynthia Fuchs[14.Feb.07] :. The Hugh Grant / Drew Barrymore comedy is all about the grand and giddy artifice of pop.  Film ReviewAmerican Dreamz (2006)by Cynthia Fuchs[21.Apr.06] :. Here's the rub: does it matter that consumers know all about the badness and the cynical ambition, but watch anyway?  Film DVD ReviewBridget Jones’s Diary: Collector’s Edition (2001)by Cynthia Fuchs[15.Nov.04] :. Speaking of her star, Renée Zellweger, Maguire is appropriately besotted: 'You can see what she brought to Bridget. She's got this fantastic warmth and this permanent confusion on her face.'"  Film ReviewBridget Jones: The Edge of Reason (2004)by Cynthia Fuchs[11.Nov.04] :. This time the bloom is quite off.  Film ReviewLove Actually (2003)by Mary Colgan[13.Nov.03] :. On occasion, the film allows a jaded sensibility to worm its way into this otherwise picturesque world.  Film ReviewTwo Weeks Notice (2002)by Cynthia Fuchs[19.Dec.02] :. People keep wanting Sandy Bullock to be sweet and feisty like she was in Speed. About A Boy (2002)by Cynthia Fuchs[15.May.02] :. 'About A Boy' is not 'The Hugh Show'. Thank goodness. Small Time Crooksby Lucas Hilderbrand[19.May.00] :. Allen’s best work achieved greatness by being more than funny —by revealing or capturing something more substantive about human relationships. With Small Time Crooks, the substance comes from the unexpected satire of class differences that gets at something truer than a mere fish-out-of-water story. Notting Hill (1999)by Cynthia Fuchs'The fame thing,' says fictional megawatt movie star Anna Scott, 'isn't really real.' And she should know, since she's played by real-life megawatt movie star Julia Roberts. The fame thing often does seem unreal to people who don't live it, so it's comforting to hear from Anna (or Julia) that it seems unreal to her as well Bridget Jones’s Diary (2001)by Renee Scolaro RathkeWe stop short of congratulating Bridget Jones with a hearty 'you've come a long way, baby.' After all, 'Bridget Jones's Diary', like 'Pride and Prejudice', is preoccupied with marriage. |
