Customer Reviews

Hugh Grant x 4 - or - Love, British Style
THE ROMANTIC FAVORITES COLLECTION (from UNIVERSAL) is comprised of four quite popular British-based films that humorously explore several aspects of love. Transfer quality of these single-title DVDs is "top shelf." A must-have for Hugh Grant fans!


SYNOPSES--

ABOUT A BOY-- Best Screenplay Oscar-nominated story of a wealthy but selfishly irresponsible fellow (Will) who pretends to be a single parent so that he can hit on women at support group meetings. Through one of these relationships, Will meets a 12-year-old (Marcus) who is struggling in school. His efforts at helping Marcus teach Will how to be a better man.

BRIDGET JONES: THE EDGE OF REASON-- The sequel to "Bridget Jones's Diary" has her relationship with lawyer Mark Darcy fallen on hard times after only a month. Bridget travels to Thailand with her ex-boss (and love interest), and while there she lands in jail after an international incident. Will Mark come to her rescue?

LOVE ACTUALLY-- Explores the ups and downs in the love lives of 12 different people during the month or so prior to Christmas. Some of the stories intersect. The engrossing script is deftly handled by a superior cast-- includes several great cameos.

NOTTING HILL-- An unassuming British bookshop owner has two chance meetings with a glamorous and famous American actress and for both of them it's love-at-first sight (or second).


THE ROMANTIC COMEDY COLLECTION (from WARNER HOME VIDEO) is a triple-feature of circa-2005 movies that star Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, John Cusack, Jennifer Anniston and others.

Of course this won't play in an Australian DVD player
Because it's a Region 1 DVD. It's clearly marked in the item listing. For Australia, you need Region 4 DVD's. It's no fault of Amazon, or of the product manufacturer. It's simply the way DVD's work.

Love these movies! Great deal to get them all!
I already loved all these movies, so to see a great deal on a box set with all of them, I was very excited! If you love romantic comedies, Hugh Grant, or anything English, then get this set. Each movie is different but filled with great actors and get stories. Would recommend!
