Hugh Grant romantic comedy in rural Wales, just a slightly bit different than all his other ones, but quite charming indeed!
29 September 2018
True story about a bunch of country folks, who turned their hill into a mountain by simply raising it a couple of feet with some extra dirt, so it became the requested official height by which it could be called a MOUNTAIN. A mountain made them proud. A hill would have shamed them, because they looked upon the hill as a part of their folklore.True story.

Lovely english/welsh story (subtitles needed sometimes) about the rural people with their strong sense of pride. Interwoven with a budding romance of Hugh Grant with a farm girl. Suited as a family film, disney style, but then how the english prefer to do that sort of romanticized kitsch: with a bit more class and a bit more context of history.

Slowburning, sweet and lovely. Hugh Grant fans who expect sick sex jokes might pass this one by, because it will probably bore them. As I have said before, this movie is as cute and clean as a disney movie, so therefore it is ideally suited to be watched by families, from young to old. But other fans of Hugh Grant's humor will surely be able to enjoy it as well, as long as they don't expect the usual blunt jokes...
