Typical Hugh Grant fare, nothing special (at all). But it's Hugh Grant! That's really all I need to know to watch the movie. Ugh I hate that I'm a typical demographic, haha. But I noticed in this movie that he is getting old. What kind of movies will he do next if he can't play the adorable, caddish, witty, self-deprecating British-accented love interest anymore? I mean, he must be one of the most type-cast actors I've ever seen, but it's because we (the captive audience) love it. Have you ever even seen him in a movie where he doesn't have a British accent? Maybe he'll go the way of Pierce Brosnan, if he's lucky. We'll see. Meanwhile I hope he acts in more dumb movies like this while he's still being cast in his go-to role.
well i don't think having a british accent type-casts someone...
ReplyDeletebut i doubt he'll ever be anything like pierce brosnan. or any british people. i think eventually he'll just be a celebrity who doesn't get work anymore, or if he does, then he'll be some kind of jovial dad or something in a bad disney movie. i heard "morgans" was one of the worst movies ever...
but i did like "music and lyrics". he should've had that be his swan song.
No, I don't mean he's type-cast because of his british accent, more that it's just indicative of how strongly type-cast he is... no one -- director, producer, or movie-goer -- wants to see him as a character that doesn't have a british accent bc that's such a large part of his appeal... he's in lots of american movies but never with an american accent
ReplyDelete'jovial dad' sounds like it'd be pretty good for him though haha
ReplyDeletei cant believe you watched this/wrote about it on your blog
