My Comments: This is a charming movie. After the runaway success of Trainspotting, director Danny Boyle's next film couldn't have been more different, I thought he would have done something a little better. Ewan even sings and dances in this movie with Cameron, which is the highlight of the movie for me. I thought he sparkled in the dancing scene at the bar..I found the movie Ok..It's just a sweet little movie that I would watch if I had nothing to do on sunday afternoon!

I Rate This Movie: 7 out of 10
