Made of Honour

Elaine and I saw Made of Honour this evening. It features unconvincing accents, caber tossing and more. I definitely enjoyed it, although I gather that the reviews haven't been entirely possitive...

(Disclaimer - I never claimed to be a good judge of rom coms. I tend to like all but the reallyawful ones... I obviously spent too much time watching Cary Grant films on BBC2 when I was growing up...)

It's also got three bridesmaids striding into a room to meet the 'Maid' Tom for the first time, with the soundtrack suddently shifting to Battle Without Honor or Humanity.

I may have laughed a bit too much at that point, although the bridesmaids weren't Yakuza, and definitely didn't include Lucy Liu or Chiaki Kuriyama...

In KB, is that used in the scene where Lucy Liu's gang are walking down the corridor in the House of Blue Leaves? I love that piece of music!

If you're not adverse to classic romcoms I recommend Indiscreet with Mr Grant and Ingrid Bergman :)

Sounds like the one - also used in the trailer...

I don't think I've seen Indiscreet yet. I should obviously fix this. :)
