Nick Hornby's novel was adapted well by US directors of American Pie fame (or infame, if you like). Hugh Grant is good essentially enacting a character a bit like himself. With Nicholas Hoult, the chameleon-like Toni Collette, Sharon Small and Natalia Tena (who's good value as the boy's punky friend - I'd like to have seen a wee bit more of that character).
Music by Badly Drawn Boy unites the thing, Remi Adafarasin's lighting is handsome, Nick Moore cut it (so with Burnt and Leap Year we're seeing quite a lot of him lately). He also cut She's Funny That Way, Morning Glory, Love Actually, Notting Hill and The Full Monty having started working as an assistant on Never Say Never Again, Empire of the Sun and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, the latter two for Michael Kahn).
