PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE will somebody slap Keira Knightley. She is the worst thing to come out of Britain since BSE. She is simply awful in every film she is in. What a contrast in performance between pouting keira and the wonderfully talented Parminder Nagra.
.....Oh, the film is unbelieveable but occasionally enjoyable

I love Parminder Nagra

Back off, she's mine! And also the only reason I watched this. But I was pleasantly surprised. Gurinder Chadha does a great job

Parminder Nagra SHOULD BE A MEGA STAR !

The film is boring, bland, not funny, and responsible for unleashing the plank pout into the world!

I'm more than a little lost as to the popularity of this film.

OK, deep breath.

The characters are at best barely 2 dimensional, it lacks any cinematic pow! factor, I didn't find it in the slightest bit funny, the UK music was awful (Texas and more than one Sporty Spice song), naff plot devices, the central love story didn't convince and it was just a line of of cliches including a lame insertion of the must have 'gay friend'.

Gets an extra star for having a heroine with scars and generally being worthy.
