I Give It a Year

During our weekend away, we started to watch, but did not complete two films. One was Priscilla (which I am going to have to watch again) and the other was Four Weddings and a Funeral. While my son and wife went to bed, I got my daughter to watch I Give It a Year. I had watched it many years ago and I remember liking it, I forgot how much.


Generally rom-coms are not my ideal film. They are okay, some are excellent, but they are not films I tend to go out of my way to watch. This is different. Which means, if you like your normal romantic comedy, this is not for you. Rather, this is more of a male version of one. I would certainly watch this again and I have recommended it someone and I have shown them the worst best man’s speech I have ever seen on celluloid. If you like The Office (I mean the UK version as I have not watched the US copy properly) then the odds are that you will like this. While The Guardian gave this three out of five, I would rate this a solid four.
