This film was a disappointment, my cable provider described it as a witty comedy, but it was awful. The cast proved that light romantic comedy is harder than it looks. Avoid this movie it's not very funny and doesn't make any sense.The script from Peter Morgan (The Queen, Last King of Scotland) was weak, the plot feeble and you didn't really care about any of the characters.Martha (Monica Potter)is an American woman on the rebound. She escapes from a failed romance in Minnesota and hops on a cheap flight to London. At the airport she meets Daniel (Tom Hollander), a short but successful music executive. Everyday he meets attractive women but falls in love with Potter at their first encounter. Martha does not reciprocate Daniel's advances but because she only has $35 to her name she accepts his hospitality. Martha meets Laurence (Joseph Fiennes) and promptly falls in love with him. Fiennes and Hollander are best friends. The series of coincidences and chance meetings defy credibility.

I can never remember what it's called! I've only ever seen it when it's on television, and they refer to it as "The Very Thought of You," which I find as a very inappropriate title. The other title is an improvement, though I have to admit it's a bit wordy. Other than that, I really enjoy watching this movie. I love the idea, the cute British guys, the setting, and Monica in this role. She's like a blonde Julia Roberts. Don't get me wrong, I'm not usually this approving of most movies. In fact, anyone could argue that this movie is like any other romantic comedy. Though something's different in the formula that makes this stand apart from the rest. Just don't ask me what it is... Call me a hopeless romantic in need of a vacation.

Martha (Monica Potter) has fled the United States and is traveling to London to start her life over again. On the plane, she meets Daniel, a successful English businessman, who is promptly smitten with the blonde beauty. He offers to pay Martha's hotel fee for her first night in London and advises her on a choice of lodging. By strange circumstance, Martha also runs into Daniel's two best friends, Laurence and Frank, over the course of the next twenty-four hours. All three of them are attracted to her. Which one will she choose?This is a sweet British romantic comedy, told in flashbacks by Laurence, as he confides the tale to a psychiatrist. The four principal players give capable performances and invest their characters with charm, especially Fiennes. While some viewers may be disgruntled that the plot unfolds in bits and pieces, most will stay intrigued. Those looking for the best humorous love stories available will find this film does not make the A-list. Still, it has enough fine qualities to make it a worthy addition to the genre. Recommended for those seeking a snowy day diversion.

This is a sweet, charming romantic comedy with a playfully self-referential plot knitted together in flashbacks from different characters' points of view: David Lodge's 'Small World' meets Hal Hartley's 'Flirt'. A woman comes to London to start a new life, and bumps into three very different men who all fall for her. She doesn't know that they're friends; they don't know that she's met all of them. She thinks she's lost the one she's fallen head-over-heels in love with, he thinks he's lost her. But we know that it'll all come out right in the end, because it's that kind of film.Furthermore it has Joseph Fiennes looking soulful, and Rufus Sewell in a part he wanted "because I got to smoke cigarettes and say 'f*ck!' a lot". Definitely one for a girls' night in.
