Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A Little Weird
Review: This movie was ok. It was very strange though. I don't think i would recommend it. Joseph Finnes is of course wonderful. But MOnica POtter is wonderful too but is unable to play a wild girl (flashy clothes) it just isn't her. Acting wasn't bad.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Iron 10 shirts in 88 minutes
Review: This movie was recommended to me by my very intelligent sister-in-law. She said it was fun and uplifting but I would have rather been asleep for the 88 minutes than waste my time watching a made for T.V. movie that was shallow, simplistic, weak, and only had Joseph Fiennes and Monica Potter going for it. Both are very attractive to look at but Fiennes must have been bored stiff to give this script his time. I agree with other reviewers that Potter looks like a blonde version of Julia Roberts. I'm incredulous that so many reviewers rated this movie so highly. I might have enjoyed it if I was home sick with the flu and half asleep but I expect character development, thought provoking ideas and real poignancy if the movie is romantic. I'm amazed people are so easy to please.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sorry Hollywood!
Review: This movie, which by the way is actually called "Martha meet Frank, Daniel and Lawrence" (too complicated for the American market???), Britains Daily Mail lables "The best romantic commedy EVER - and it's British!". Being no friend of Romantic commedies in general, I find myself not having anything to add to this. This is as un-Hollywood as can be, although it sports the usual Happy End with a kiss. But man, this is the first time I actually wanted this to happen... ;-)
You might aswell buy it, because you end up renting it again anyways...
PS: The original title hints at the plot and the way it is narrated....changing it was a big mistake!

PPS: Just breezed through the reviews and noticed that some people found the plot implausible.(!) WELL, OF COURSE IT IS! But that's totally beside the point! How plausible is "Much Ado about Nothing"?? Doesn't make it any worse a play, now does it?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Martha meet Frank, Daniel and Lawrence
Review: This was how i came to know this video so maybe thats just the british version. To me that title just denotes the meandering quality of the film. I like the way fate worked in this movie and although it was hopelessly unrealistic I enjoyed it alot. It was very funny and Joseph Fiennes gives an excellent performance in his role as caught-in-the-middle lawrence, and despite the fantatical nature of the storyline the friendship the three men have is so true to life you can believe in it. They are all very good actors. If you, like me, find yourself drawn to romantic movies with happy endings do yourself a favour and watch this.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Funny, clever
Review: Typical boy meets girl comedy told in a clever manner. The acting is great, the script is very good. I thought it very entertaining and would definitely recommend it. Joseph Fiennes is terrific as always. But I really was impressed with the performance of Tom Hollander.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: great romantic comedy
Review: When I rented The Very Thought of You at my local video store I wasn't expecting much, but what I found was a charming,funny,and romantic movie. Monica Potter and Joseph Feinnes, who play the leads in the movie, are both talented young actors who should be watched. the supporting cast, which includes Rufus Sewel is excellent as well, I also enjoyed how they presented the story so as to cause the watcher to be somewhat surprised at parts. All and all The Very Thought Of You is a movie that I consider a must rent, if not a must buy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Way It Should Be Done
Review: witty, well-performed, romantic--not overly sexual--comedy. Isn't this the romance we would all love to have? An interesting blend of great characterization, physical humor and integrity in relationships--romantic and otherwise. Good job.
