Love of My Life (2017) Reviews

• A bit hit and miss but still reasonably entertaining

  MattyGibbs2017-09-21

  A woman finds out she might only have a few days to live but her ex husband still hopes to win her back. This is extremely far fetched and the situations are often off putting and forced but there are still enough good moments to make this an enjoyable romantic drama. It features a good cast ( three of which were main characters in Four Weddings and a Funeral). Although not riotously funny there is a good smattering of funny moments throughout. Although probably not as good as it should have been considering the cast involved this is still worth a look if you're in the mood for some easy light hearted entertainment.

• One of the best films I have ever seen

  It's a beautiful, sad and full of metaphors story about being forced to realise whether you've been living your life to the fullest. It IS hectic and is basically a comedy of errors, yet with very good writing and clever dialogues. I think those leaving negative reviews took the story too literally, whereas it's a beautiful and crazy combination of all the things in life happening at once - it kinda has the vibe of 1967 film Oscar, just more serious. A really touching story with real characters and great acting.

• Get out of my life

  Prismark102017-09-21

  Despite the title this is not a rom com just a tedious film with unlikeable characters that you will care little about. Grace (Anna Chancellor) finds out she has a brain tumour and only has five days to live because then she has to undergo a dangerous operation. Her second husband Tom (James Fleet) is distraught and finds comfort in alcohol. Grace needs to get her life in order, she is a successful architect in Toronto and has two daughters. Then her her ex-husband Richard (John Hannah) a successful turns up in her bedroom proclaiming that Grace was the love of his life and wants her back. After the horrible way Richard behaves which includes trying to get rid of Tom from his house, Richard's wife Tamara (Hermione Norris) turns up, the woman Richard left Grace for. It was strange to see so many Brits turning up in Toronto and really little use is made of the city. I cared little about the story and the characters. I could guess who would end up with whom and it was not as funny or breezy it thought it was.

• A 60 minute flick at best

  cekadah2017-05-14

  OMG -- what a struggle to stay with this movie. One hour and forty-five minutes of just one repetitive plot. By the end of this 'thing' I was hoping everybody would crap out via brain cancer. Does that happen? No! And here's your spoiler (beware I'm going to expose the end of this igganunt flick) - Nobody dies! The viewer must suffer through all these middle age needy people and no reward at the end. The story is so simple I do not know how the director made it into a one hour and forty-five minute movie. I won't bore you with details. If you want a story and no story at the same time then this is your flick.
