Love, Rosie (2014 Christian Ditter)

Actually I was thinking this was another film altogether - only after it had been on for five minutes did I realise that was Me Before You, with the charismatic Emilia Clarke - this fortunately features the charismatic Lily Collins and Sam Claflin, so that's all right.

One of those films in which the friends (Jamie Winstone in this case) aren't really properly integrated as characters - they're just there to be called upon when the script needs them.

Anyway - the film could have been called Bad Timing as well (or Big Eyebrows Are In), but that's neither here nor there. It all comes from a novel called 'Where Rainbows End' by Cecilia Ahern, adapted by Juliette Towhidi (Calendar Girls, Death Comes to Pemberley and - on TV today by odd coincidence - Testament of Youth - an adapter, then). The friends both make rubbish partner choices before finally...

Christian Rein sumptuously filmed it, and also featured are Christian Cooke, Suki Waterhouse, Tamsin Egerton, Jamie Beamish, Lorcan Cranitch and Ger Ryan.

Too many songs over soundtrack.


Lily Collins is filming Emily in Paris.
