I Could Never Be Your Woman (2007 Amy Heckerling & scr)

After making the Clueless series, which provided some inspiration for story of TV writer / producer Michelle Pfeiffer, this went straight to video: "It just represents a lot of unhappiness to me. I loved working with Paul Rudd and Michelle Pfeiffer and Saoirse Ronan and all the other people, and I got to make some friends in England, where it was shot. But I'm not happy about what happened."

It's refreshingly different in attitude, Rudd gives all stops out performance, Saiorse in debut is great (particularly liked her Britney pastiche), likeable and funny, punctuated by aptly chosen pop songs. A welcome rewatch after too many years.

So with Clueless (film) alumni Rudd and Stacey Dash we have Jon Lovitz, Wallace Shawn and Fred Willard (boss), then many Brits in supporting cast: Tracey Ullman, Sarah Alexander, Yasmin (Submarine) Paige, Graham Norton (his Show began that year on BBC2), David Mitchell, Steve Pemberton, Mackenzie Crook and we missed Olivia Colman and Archie Punjabi. But why was it shot in the UK?

It was filmed by Brian Tufano, 32 years after photographing Michael Palin in Three Men and a Boat for Stephen Frears at BBCTV. Edited by Kate Coggins.

Not a pairing you'd immediately think of
