I was up late one night last week and this movie was playing on television. I have been told by many female friends of mine that it is the quintessential film about single women. Apparently, this film broadcasts their hopes, dreams, fear, insecurities, and their realities.
After watching most all of it, I could not last much beyond the blue soup incident, I have to hope that they were jesting with me. The blue soup was funny and touching, but it was one of those moments that too far and few between that I had to give up. My rationale for being up so late, a storm, had past and there was no further need to stay up.
Right off the bat she says that Hugh Grant's character is exactly what she does not want. I knew from the previews, and the sequel, that she dates him. Why? Why date a guy that you do not want to or know is bad for you?
I was rooting for Colin Firth not to get involved with her and yet I could not stand to see her torture herself, and me, with her continued affair with her editor. I liked the cameos in the beginning which gave me false hope for the rest of the movie.
The whole point of the movie was that she wanted to settle down. She knew from the start that this was not the way it was going to go with him. So why go down that path?
