The Very Thought of You

Summary: Very Thought of You charms the very heart
Review: I finally rented "The Very Thought of You" on a whim with some friends, after tiring of always seeing it on the "New Release" shelf and not knowing what it was about. What we eneded up watching was an endearing romantic comedy with great repartee and interesting plot development. The story of Martha (Monica Potter) and her unplanned trip to London causes her to meet lifelong buddies Daniel (Tom Hollander), Lawrence (Joseph Fiennes) and Frank (Rufus Sewell) who, independently and at different times, met and fell in love with her. The narrative moves backwards and forwards, gradually filling in gaps until we see the story of the three men unfold. Cute, amusing and very watchable movie, this is a great feel good movie to watch any time of the year.

Summary: It¿s a must for my collection
Review: I first saw this movie when travelling from Australia to London on a Qantas flight. I was giggling for the full length of the movie, the only problem I had was trying to remember the title - "Martha, Meet Frank, Daniel and Laurence" - a shocker - good to see that's the USA renamed it. All the actors are great and well casted, although I have always been a fan of Ray Winstone who plays the shrink Pedersen. The music is well suited and has made me look closer at Ed Shearmur. I then went on to buy the sound track. A good movie to watch with your companion.

Summary: Great Cast, Charming Story
Review: I must say the title does not do this justice. This story really took me by storm. It is very well written, with intriguing characters, and wonderful cinematography. It has a similar feel as "Sliding Doors" - with all the wit included.

Summary: Clever, charming, and witty
Review: I picked this up in the video store not expecting much, but was drawn by the presence of Joseph Fiennes (having seen and loved "Shakespeare in Love"). I was absolutely delighted with this movie's characters and dialogue, but mostly was delightfully amused by the way the story was laid out: beginning at almost the end and then going back and tying it all together with lots of twists and turns thrown in to keep the viewer's interest. I thought the film immensely cleverly done, and the acting was superb. In a comedic farce like this, one can't expect exhaustive character development, but the characters in this were certainly developed sufficiently for the story line. All in all, a delight! I have watched it several times now.

Summary: Cute and funny
Review: I rented this movie because I saw Monica Potter on the cover and decided to read what it was about and when I did I thought it was worth a rental.I kept thinking it would be the average girl falls for boy comedy and I was wrong.The movie was unlike any romance I have seen in a while.The movie is about a girl who wants to start over in London and runs in to this guy who tries very hard to charm her,but it won't work for her.In London she meets another guy who falls for her,but again he just wasn't for her.Then finds the right one later in the movie.The only thing is,the three guys are all friends.I don't have to say that this movie turns out to be a pleasant treat.Monica Potter is hilareous as the lead.Joseph Finnes is great.The movie is a wonderful romance that will keep you laughing.
A+

Summary: The best light-hearted romance around...
Review: I think that this movie is my favorite romance (besides "Shakepeare in Love"). And oddly enough, it's the same leading man in both! If you liked movies such as "Runaway Bride" or "Knotting Hill" then I'm sure that you will find this movie just as enjoyable. Of course, up there it says the movie is rated R, but it really isn't. They are mistaken. It's only PG-13, and there isn't anything at all unsuitable in it.

Summary: I liked it
Review: I thought this movie was very cute. It didn't play out like your typical love story, and I thought it was amusing to see 3 friends fall in love with the same woman, and not one of them knew it! I especially liked the idea of just getting on a plane, regardless of where it was going, and starting over...it's something that makes this movie really cute, even if a bit predictable. Overall, I can't see why it didn't make into theatres....if XXX, Gigli, and many others made it, then the reasons that something decent like this didn't eludes me. Go rent it, and have fun!

Summary: Definitely Shocked at how much I loved this movie
Review: I was just browsing through the movie store when I happened upon this movie and thought it looked cute. I figured it would be another cheesy, mediocre romance film, but I was wrong. This is one of the best romantic movies I have ever seen. It made me want to go out buy a plane ticket and hop in some handsome man's car. I would definitely reccommend this movie to anyone out there. I know I am buying it, after I finish watching it another dozen times.

Summary: Is there such a thing as fate.
Review: If you want a plausible, realistic, it could happen movie, you won't find it with "The Very Thought of You." As a dedicated fan of Rufus Sewell I did not like his character; however, I never noticed just how utterly romantic Joseph Finnes could be. Just one look at those puppy dog eyes and I would fogive, forget and fall in love all over again. I also enjoyed Monica Potter's performance as a woman who wants to believe in love but has a hard time forgetting her track record. A chick flick that is great for a first date. What a dream to just pack it up and start all over again.....
