Can someone give the plot for this one? I adored the first movie and book, liked the next, not sure if I’ll see this as I am not sure I can suspend disbelief at the ages of any of the actors.

Yes, Hugh Grant looks old…but he’s so adept at playing this role that it doesn’t matter. His sex appeal is intertwined with his arrogant confidence.



Oh, please, just because she hasn’t been tweaked to death like Nicole Kidman! And of course you give a man a pass.


FTR I don’t think Kidman has any business playing the mother of young kids either.




I agree. It’s not about appearance- it’s about both acting for 35 years - and as adults from beginning of being in Hollywood.

Now, mind you I'm in a mood so may not apply to all?

I didn't necessarily find it funny but I was absolutely bawling towards the end. Anyone else? Or was it just my mood that caused me to be much more sentimental?


When the little boy sang I was definitely boo hooing.

Just watched it and really enjoyed it - much more than I thought I would. I cried a lot, it’s really touching and some very funny moments.

I loved it and cried a lot, thought it was fantastic, but only if you are attached to the story which I am! Not as funny as the other ones but so touching, which makes sense as the character matured and went through what she did.

It’s ridiculous. Hard to watch.

It's surprisingly funny. I thought I would hate it, and they should have made Daniel/Hugh Grant's lechery less try-hard wannabe charming and more straight up sexual harassment but overall it was pretty good.
