What It Is: A dramedy about sex, love, and relationships.Why I Watched It: You mean besides my man-love for Ewan McGregor? You have to admit the film has a catchy title.
What I Thought: While catchy titles don't make good movies, sometimes good movies do have catchy titles.
The film involves a half dozen couples all struggling with relationships in their own way and it's shot entirely on location at Hampstead Heath (a sort of Central Park in London). The movie has a really good ensemble cast with Ewan McGregor and Adrian Lester among the most notable and covers relationship related issues from attraction to divorce.
Some of the issues featured were incredibly fascinating. McGregor played a gay man attempting to talk his lover into adoption and Adrian Lester played a recent divorcee that still got along famously with his ex-wife. The best part of the film however, was definitely the old couple. A lone elderly man asks to share a bench with an older female and it soon becomes apparent that, over 50 years ago, they were once lovers! It was really quite adorable!
Highlights: McGregor as a gay man, Adrian Lester's character was just as lovable as Mickey (Hustle), but the older couple was just too cute for words.
Who Should See It: Hopeful romantics, as well as fans of Ewan McGregor or Adrian Lester.
How Soon: I bet it'd make a great movie for date night!
