... but i totally heart the book. i've read it, like, 5 times (okay 3!).
the movie did not follow the book very well, but it was still a fun movie. i give it 3 1/2 hearts out of 5. lots of cheap laughs, but some real laughs too.
isla fisher was a perfect becky bloomwood, but london was grievously miscast - as new york.
becky bloomwood may be the main character of the book, but london is a close second. reading the book i could feel like i was right there in london - many of the places written about, i've actually been to, before i ever read the book ...
bella pasta
boots
pret a manger
body shop
waterstone's
accessorize
marks and spencer
notting hill gate
high street kensington
hyde park
camden market
harrods...
... you get the picture. these are real places to me and when i read about them i am right there in my mind. so, yeah, i really missed london in the movie.
but still i would say, sure, go see the movie.
