Decent little script, perfectly okay performances. The camera work... what on earth happened? There are scenes where it appears they couldn't decide whether to use a stationary camera or go handheld, so they decided to just shake the camera randomly. It's nausea inducing and has no artistic or symbolic purpose.

A low-budget romantic comedy that hits the sweet spot

Warning: Spoilers
Although this is written by Eoin Colfer (most famous for his fantasy-adventure series, Artemis Fowl), this is a romantic-comedy and it works surprisingly well. It is set in London's world of gossip magazines and it is into such a cesspit that snobby but struggling author PC Molloy finds himself. He starts off at loggerheads with the magazine's editor, April Devereaux but being a romantic comedy, it's never a case of where they end up but how they get there. The characters are nicely drawn, the dialogue is good and there's some lovely performances from Lochlainn O'Mearain, Aoibhinn McGinnity, Lauryn Canny and Mary Murray. But the scene stealer has got to be Aaron Heffernan (watch out for his Matthew McConaughey joke).
This is a low-budget romantic comedy that hits the sweet spot, which is ripe for a Hollywood remake.
