Katie Drummond: I watched this film in highschool, the place I used to be dishonest on my math exams. Sorry. For some cause, simply the reminiscence of me dishonest on my highschool math exams makes me chortle, after which I rewatched it with my daughter this weekend, and it is so dangerous and so ludicrous and simply so fabulous. Colin Firth is a babe. Amanda Bynes is wonderful, and I want her the perfect. And it is a very enjoyable, silly film if you wish to simply disconnect your mind and be taught concerning the story of a 17-year-old lady who goes to the UK to satisfy the daddy she by no means knew.
Michael Calore: Wow.
Lauren Goode: Wow.

She falls in love with a nasty boy with a bike however a coronary heart of gold who additionally occurs to sing within the band that performs in UK Parliament, so he simply occurs to be round on a regular basis. He has spiky hair. Bear in mind 2003? All the blokes had gel, spiky hair.
Lauren Goode: Sure, I nonetheless keep in mind that. Early 2000s motion pictures, boy, did they not age effectively.
Katie Drummond: This one, although, aged like a wonderful wine.
Michael Calore: That is nice.

She unintentionally locks herself in her condo. She has two kids that she is now unexpectedly making an attempt to deal with, however by some means neglecting as a result of she’s-
Katie Drummond: That is horrible.
Michael Calore: Nevertheless it’s the way in which that it is written is admittedly good. It’s a actually heavy e-book. It is tough, it is actually tough subject-matter-wise, however the writing is simply unimaginable, and it isn’t an extended e-book, so you do not have to sit down and undergo along with her for quite a lot of time. I will not spoil something, however I’ll say that there’s some decision in it. It isn’t a straight journey all the way down to hell. It’s a, actually, simply beautiful statement of how human beings course of grief and the way human beings take care of crises, and I actually liked it.
