There is a fun ensemble cast in this film, although Lucy Punch stands out as a talent to watch, being both funny, quirky, and empathetic as the woman who craves love as she goes on lots of dating events in London.
The American leads - Leigh Zimmerman and Michael Brandon - are a good pairing, they have the sparky chemistry of the screwball comedy couples from the 1930s and 1940s. This is a colourful film that gets around London and has some great one-liners.
It was very refreshing to see a British film tackling the sort of genre that is American studio fare - and this film does so admirably in an "indie" kind of way. I really liked the idea of a cameraman character being unseen for most of the film but playing a crucial role in the outcome of the story. This film is uplifting, and has good tempo, and it's pretty authentic to the type of dating events going on in London at the moment - more about money than true love. My male friend, however, thought the Ed Byrne nob gags were the best bit!
