| This movie, which by the way is actually called "Martha meet Frank, Daniel and Lawrence" (too complicated for the American market???), Britains Daily Mail lables "The best romantic commedy EVER - and it's British!". Being no friend of Romantic commedies in general, I find myself not having anything to add to this. This is as un-Hollywood as can be, although it sports the usual Happy End with a kiss. But man, this is the first time I actually wanted this to happen... ;-)
You might aswell buy it, because you end up renting it again anyways...
PS: The original title hints at the plot and the way it is narrated....changing it was a big mistake!PPS: Just breezed through the reviews and noticed that some people found the plot implausible.(!) WELL, OF COURSE IT IS! But that's totally beside the point! How plausible is "Much Ado about Nothing"?? Doesn't make it any worse a play, now does it? |

| This was how i came to know this video so maybe thats just the british version. To me that title just denotes the meandering quality of the film. I like the way fate worked in this movie and although it was hopelessly unrealistic I enjoyed it alot. It was very funny and Joseph Fiennes gives an excellent performance in his role as caught-in-the-middle lawrence, and despite the fantatical nature of the storyline the friendship the three men have is so true to life you can believe in it. They are all very good actors. If you, like me, find yourself drawn to romantic movies with happy endings do yourself a favour and watch this. |

| The 'Very Thought of You' was one of those guilty little pleasures we all take in vegetating on a cold day while successfully procrastinating away from some project. I watched it on my laptop during an open house on a rainy day (very few visitors), and it was the perfect sort of movie for that particular situation. The plot is not complex at all (good for frequent stoppages), though the acting appropriately highlights the best parts of the script. It's an off-beat sort of romantic comedy from a screenwriter who should come out with better things in the future. Monica Potter and Joseph Fiennes give believable performances as hopeless romantics looking for a better life. Friends, foreign travel, and two minor injuries to Fiennes' character mixes up their plans. |

| "The Very Thought of You" is perhaps typical of the many chick flicks out there. It involves a couple of thoroughly enjoyable devices and concepts, though, that aren't always found in the common movie, such as mistaken identities; story telling through different sets of eyes; unfettered, spontaneous travel and Joseph Fiennes. I bought it on an extremely impulsive whim and regret it. Rent it, don't buy it. |
