Born Romantic

This movie would definitely be labeled a "chick flick" by most people, and being a chick myself, I loved it. It's a sweet, funny movie. Again, I am a huge Craig Ferguson fan, so it's all good to me. But honestly, I did not know what to expect of him being in a full length movie as opposed to being the host of a late night talk show, but he is really good. I would also recommend "Saving Grace". Hope you like "Born Romantic". I think you will.

Absolutely adorable, totally un-schmaltzy British comedy about a bunch of hapless misfits looking for love at a London Salsa club. A Frank Sinatra wannabe Scot, a useless Mugger and a failed Irish rockstar are the hopeless romantics chasing a thorny British rose, a peculiar hypochondriac and a horny ex-punk. If you love a romance without the saccharine, and laughing, lots, like, until you wee a bit, you're probably Born Romantic, too.

I prefer the movies that Craig writes himself and I dont believe this to be one of them.It's a sexy movie with a dark edge to it. Not enough Craig in it though! I prefer "Saving Grace", and "I'll Be There".

I like this movie. Quirky characters, great music, dancing and clever writing. Nonsensical as life itself! Every time I see it, I see something different.

If you're looking for exciting chase scenes, gratutious nudity, explicit sex scenes, and formulaic mega-spectacle, then this one is not for you. But, you will love this movie if you love dance, dancers, searchers for true love, cynics whom true love find, oddballs who find their one true soul mate, and good guys who win in the end. All in one underrated and underreviewed masterpiece. Ignore the naysayers. Take a chance and see this one. Share it with someone you love. You will not regret it.

This, along with Ferguson's, "Saving Grace", is one of his better performances. He'll never win an Oscar (not that he cares), but he's likeable and, well, gorgeous. I don't personally care for Olivia Williams, but she does a good job, and all the other secondary characters are kinda quirky and fun.

This film passes muster for me because it is romantic, quirky and the characters are linked in interesting ways. The main threads in this film that bring the characters together are a salsa club and a cab driver with an interesting past. Very BBC. A warning for some: as in many British films, there are a few spots of F-word spouting, which is why it is rated R.

This romantic comedy was charming, funny, and clever. I recommend it to anyone who doesn't have a problem with heavy British accents. (If you do, try it with captions). It was fun, funny, and a nice pick-me-up when one needs a lift.

Born Romantik hat mir sehr gut gefallen und ich würde den Film jedem weiterempfehlen die Lieferung ging ohne Probleme. Danke.

An excellent film, well written, acted, and now available in region 1 format. Well worth the money.

The other reviews go into the plot so i wont but if you want to do yourself the biggest favour ever, buy this film and watch it regularly, amazing one liners, deep felt sentiments without being sentimental, funny, witty, very unpredictable, so well acted directed and written. All that and the most AMAZING soundtrack to boot.Most people, especially men are put off this film without giving it a chance because of it's title. You have to see it to believe how good it is.I suggest the other reviewers watch it again without interuption.

Ce film est une merveille !Et dire que la BO n'a pas été commercialisée en France dès sa sortie !Rencontres prévisibles ou inopportunes , tous se retrouvent autours de ce lieu grisant, ce club de salsa.C'est frais, sans prétention et tellement riche en émotions. C'est un film sur la vie, on s'y retrouve tous.Et pour les amateurs de salsa, ça donne envie d'aller danser la portoricaine ou la cubaine sur le champ!Surtout ne pas se fier au titre du film qui laisse présager un scénario très attendu.

Centered around a salsa club, three men pursue three women across London.Fergus is trying to find his ex-girlfriend.Charmer Frankie, is trying his hardest to pull the beautiful Eleanor.Robber Eddie is trying to find, and also pull, one of his victims, cemetery worker Jocelyn...In the late nineties and early noughties, there were a slew of these British romantic comedies, that were trying to be a sort of antidote to the sickly sweet behemoths that were Richard Curtis movies.We Had This Years Love, If Only, House, Virtual Sexuality, and this. And while some of them were funny and quite the alternative (think Lock stock for the ladies) they disappeared without a trace, because they were too familiar and felt a little bit too depressing at times.This film, whilst it has a few genius moments, features too many people with miserable faces to be anything like a cheerful movie. We have Adrian Lester as a sort of guardian, watching their lives as they sit in the back of his cab, being drunk and depressed.And apart from McCormack, none of the characters are very likable. They are either thieves, drunkards, loose women, or stuck up.So at the end, you really couldn't care less, because they don't really deserve to be happy.But there are funny moments, and despite the unlikable characters, the performances are brilliant.Just do it less gloomy next time....
