Jilting Joe (1998)
This is actually pretty good!

OK, it's low budget, kind of obvious, and the script is a bit clumsy at times. But the acting's great all the way through, and there are some very neat comic touches...
I enjoyed the fairground sequence, as well as most of the supporting cast moments. Tom Wilkinson as the father is fun and likable, the girl from Gregory's girl is good - and is it a first ever screen performance for Little Britain's Matt Lucas...?
Geraldine Somerville isn't an obvious choice for a romantic comedy heroine, but James Purefoy is very sexy... And Patricia Hodge and Benjamin Whitrow (Pride and Prejudice anyone?) are both fantastic!
Worth a try on a cold winters evening...
