Okay. The catering manager (not secretary– too cliche) wasn’t fired– she was “shuffled.” The writer falls for his housekeeper whose Portuguese and they have no common language in which to express their feelings. And Alan Rickman wants to cheat on an unattractive Emma Thompson with his hot secretary. The couple are not in a porno together– they are the body doubles for bigger stars. And somehow, in the end, most of these people are connected to each other.

It’s a well-written movie about love, which is rare. It’s creative, it’s funny, and Hugh Grant dances. Love is always written about in a very sappy way, but this film highlights the different kinds of love.
