Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

ffilix I watched this on TV the other night on the strength of the cast, I thought all these actors wouldn't be in a film if it was not a good un and have a bit of a soft spot for Mr Mistry ever since East is East. It was a good way to spend a Monday night. I especially liked the bit where Frankie's estranged wife comes into the kitchen while he is trying to woo Eleanor. Jane Horrocks is at her gruesome best and did anyone notice that David Morrissey was repulsive in this film and I think he'd based himself on Fish. I just wish I had a salsa club near me. Last but not least...anyone who still manages to look alluring in a neck collar and a dodgy specs must truly be a beautiful woman..you know who you are!

Theo Robertson Who said romance is dead ? Probably the same idiot who said the British film industry of 2000 was in successful form . BORN ROMANTIC proves that it wasn`t and for the last ten tears Britain has been making far too many of these underdeveloped flops . For every FULL MONTY or 28 DAYS LATER there`s about ten THE LIFE OF STUFF , THE SLAB BOYS and IT WAS AN ACCIDENT gathering dust on a distributers shelf I will give writer/director David Kane some praise for assembling a cast that includes some very well known faces , alas I have to criticise him as a screenwriter . First off who`s the movie aimed at ? Is it for lads sitting at home with their mates with a lot of beer or is it for girls who want to watch a rom com with their friends ? There`s no way lads are going to watch anything that`s been marketed as a romance featuring people doing the salsa while the chicks are going to be put off by the graphic descriptions of oral sex etc . Come on when has oral sex had anything to do with romance ? . That last line was tongue in cheek but you know what I`m saying . BORN ROMANTIC did have some potential but as well as rather crude humour it also lacks anytype of cohesion , it`s just a bunch of not very related sub plots involving characters who attend a salsa class with the characters being sad , lonely unlikeable people . In the hands of Jack Rosenthal or William Trevor the premise might have led to a touching rom com but here it fails . I also couldn`t help noticing it was made far too late to cash in on the success of STRICTLY BALLROOM BORN ROMANTIC is Mike Leigh meets Richard Curtis without any of the skill of either and how can you make a movie featuring a Scotsman with a bi-sexual girlfriend without casting John Leslie in the role ?

phils_phan I rented this movie looking for a romantic comedy and knowing nothing about it other than it starred Craig Ferguson. I am a big fan of his, but this movie was not one that he should be proud to put on his resume! As another reviewer pointed out, there are too many subplots and not enough time to get into any of them. It was ninety minutes of drivel, truth be told. The only part that I enjoyed (which did not belong in the film one iota) was when Craig Ferguson sang in a nightclub accompanied by a band. He sounded great! While no single actor did a bad job, the material they had to work with was just subpar. Nothing fresh was done in the area of romantic comedies and the whole thing was just dull. Don't get this one! Get "Saving Grace" instead! Or "Greenfingers". Or "The Mean Machine". All 3 are in the new release section of your video store and are British movies that are much better.

Caitlin This film is a really nice ensemble piece, all the cast are good and put in a range of very appealing performances.Personally I have a bit of a 'thing' for David Morrissey and it was nice for a change to see him here with his native Liverpudlian accent being charming, sexy and very very funny.Ian Hart who gets top billing is really a fairly minor character, yet also puts in an excellent, and unusual performance as the misogynistic taxi driver who dishes out advice to anyone who cares to listen in the cafe.The plot is certainly nothing new, and there are no real surprises along the way, but it succeeds well in it's aim of being a warm and appealing feel good movie.
