Love and Other Disasters


a light-hearted and adorable romantic comedy. kind of British with a hint of Breakfast at Tiffany's (my favourite movie) and the Devil Wears Prada. It reminds me of those 90s romantic comedies, they are seriously the best and they can't make it like those nowadays. When I watched all those comedies in the 90s (Notting Hill, Pretty Woman, the Runaway Bride...) I was just around 8 or 9, but they made a big impact on me, movies, apart from those tear jerking ones, can be once in a while funny, poignant and warm.


Brittany Murphy is definitely in her best form, playing the UK Vogue intern who tries to help her friends find love. and the cameo appearance of Orlando and Gwyneth is really nice and sweet, especially when the film is ironic in a way to show the stereotypical hollywood movie everyone yearns to watch - a happily-ever-after romance with a blonde heroine.


and life is always not like a movie. but coming across a familiar scene would be interesting enough.
