To England, with Love

This may cover familiar ground in terms of fish-out-of-water romantic comedy shenanigans, but directors Tim Clague and Danny Stack, along with writer Grace Knight, breathe fresh and entertaining life into these tropes. Georgia Hirst's Ali heads to southwest England to solve a treasure hunt mystery tied up with her inheritance. Naturally, at first, this American finds the change of pace in rural Britain a little disconcerting, but soon she ingratiates herself with the locals, including obvious love interest Matthew (Sean Pogmore).

No prizes for guessing how it all works out, but this is a brief, breezy, diverting watch, with appealing leads and a modicum of comedic fun amid the love story. Some splendid scenery too. As a resident of southwest England, I did a fair bit of location spotting. All in all, well worth a look if romantic comedy is your thing.
