I was surprised... (Reply to this comment)

..how much I liked this movie. Hugh Grant did a very nice job.

The Weitz brothers, by the way, are the sons of the late menswear designer John Weitz and actress Susan Kohner who played Sarah Jane in IMITATION OF LIFE. Their grandparents (Susan's parents) are Paul Kohner, high powered Hollywood agent and Lupita Tovar Mexican actress who played the lead in the Spanish version of Universal's DRACULA.

Chad, thanks for the comment! I thought it was a very nice change for Grant, the Weitz brothers, and everyone else as well. Jude

Jude.

Quite glad you liked this little ditty. i thought it was quite the good movie. this is what more 'romantic comedies' should aspire to be in this age, when tripe like 'maid in manhattan' passes itself off as representative of the genre.

killing me softly will never be the same :)

take care, hope all is well,
chad.

....about the sketch. I was just doodling when I was watching MONSOON WEDDING, so although it doesn't look like anyone in the film except the director, a little, it is mostly out of my little pea brain.

I sketch, photograph the ones I like, and just try to keep new ones on the profile, for fun. It keeps me from getting bored with myself, mostly=although not completely. Thank you for noticing it. I am flattered.

"The kids eyebrows"....hmmm, that didn't bother me for some reason. As for it being a good date movie, you are probably right, because most guys will look good by comparison! Yeah, it might work. Thanks for stopping. Jude

This movie didn't do as much for me as it did for ya'll.

But most importantly, let's talk about this sketch on your profile page. Did you do it? It's downright gorgeous and I am in awe.

this, a lot more than I actually thought I would. I even found myself endeared to Hugh Grant. And once I got over the sight of that kids eyebrows, I found myself warming to him. A definite date movie, don't you think?

I know where it is, but editing is if anything, even harder than submitting, so it will have to wait until they kill that bug! Thanks , though! Jude
