I had to watch this on a very long flight after I had finished my book and was unable to sleep, which may have coloured my view of this picture.
Besides the fantasy premise, which could have been more originally handled, as this particular plot is wearing thin, Meg Ryan just coasted through this. Jackman does his best but perhaps if anyone did this it should have been Colin Firth.
The Brits are all hackneyed caricatures and the former boyfriend and brother just plain annoying. Hardly a funny line and little real love interest mean the words romantic comedy are stretched somewhat here.
