I saw this last night and although it past away a pleasant 90 mins I have to say that it really was a missed opportunity. Renee was woefully miss cast in the lead, she seems to think playing an English character means pulling stupid faces and speaking in that mannered fashion she used to such nauseating effect in the Bridget Jones movies. The whole film is neither fish nor fowl, it cannot decide if it wants to be a joyless "Bednobs and Broomsticks" or some kind of soft focus version of "Upstairs Downstairs". There are some solid performances though, Barbara Fyln, Ewan Mcgregor, Emily Watson and the rest of the UK cast are all excellent. As are the production values. Shame this never manages to really pull at your heartstrings. Bit of a missed opportunity all round.
