When Stevie meets Neil on the day he comes to deliver her brand new kitchen, it's already too late for love at first sight. Too late for both of them. Stevie is already five minutes pregnant by her Italian footballer husband. And too late for Neil too - his wife Jenny has already applied to adopt an African girl. But too late or otherwise, love at first sight is exactly what happens. How can Neil and Stevie get out of their mistaken marriages and into each others arms?

ManiakJiggy This is How Movies Should Be Made
Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Elaine Coe I hate to put down British films, but I can honestly say that this was the worst film I have ever seen, so much so that I had to watch it to the end just out of disbelief.I agree that the script was poor, and possibly the acting wasn't great, but it was really the plot I found unconvincing. I'm not easily upset, but I was genuinely offended by certain issue - the way death was treated and the scene at the hospital particularly.The cast had potential and the accents, acting, everything could be forgiven if the plot was more plausible. I believe in love at first sight, but I didn't believe that these two characters could have fallen in love after their brief encounter over the kitchen counters. They discovered the unsatisfactory nature of each other's relationships, but nothing about each other. Such a shame.
graestella I'm astonished at the lack of reviews for this delightful film. Also surprised that several recent ones were from the recent TV showing. This shows how poor the films distribution was, and is typical and lamentable for British film. This was a gem of a picture. My wife and I were laughing ourselves fit to burst. The romance was a treat and lightly handled. Roxburgh's Geordie accent was spot on. Who are these alleged critics who have nothing better to do than attack actors for trying to act. Should they all be like the cast of Eastenders and disclaim their lines in their natural voice ? I also think that Jonathan Cake is a great undiscovered comic talent, and was as brilliant as ever. One day he will get his breakthrough role and then we will be treated to his back catalogue of characterisations in forgotten classics like this one.
travellingmick I saw this film on TV and must confess to having never heard of it before - but i cannot think why! Why wasn't this great little movie given more chance in the box office? Why wasn't it widely distributed???? It was genuinely very very funny. Not only did i find myself laughing out loud the whole way through it, but it also had great dialogue, a great story, excellent characters and a fantastic plot. All in all this was a very enjoyable and quite unexpected movie. If you get a chance - watch it! The plot surrounds two couples - one are everyday and unhappy in their relationship. The other are an Italian football star and his kept wife. Couple one adopt an African girl and couple two are trying to have a baby. But then Guy from first couple falls in love with kept wife. A great little side story involves the first guys friend who is an absolute slob who has crazy sex with some woman he happens to meet in late night supermarkets who also happens to be the sister of the footballers wife. There is far far more to it than all this thought! It is a fantastic story and a great comedy. I have to ask again...why didn't this get distributed better in the cinemas???? The distribution/production company were not doing their job!
juliettef23 Really funny film, with some beautiful locations and wonderful acting. The actor who plays Stan is fantastic and I couldn't wait for him to reappear. Very stylish and beautifully filmed. Light and easy entertainment, that made me laugh a lot.
