Born Romantic (2000)
6/10
Light but still likable

Warning: Spoilers
Sweet fluffy story about four mismatched but made for each other couples in London: A goofy Scotsman (the always entertaining Craig Fergusson) and a chilly art conservator; a melancholy habitué of a cemetery and a well-meaning thief; a bitter jilted woman and the remorseful man who left her at the altar eight years before; a cabbie (the omg gorgeous and super-talented Adrian Lester - you remember him, he was Henry in Primary Colors) who helps the other couples sort it out and finally finds his way clear to put his grief for his dead wife aside so he can embrace life (in the form of a very alive salsa teacher) once again.

This is all played out in the aforementioned cemetery, inside Lester's cab, the winterly streets and parks of London, a salsa club, Kings Cross Station, various crappy flats and the Elgin Marbles Hall at the British Museum.

If you're home with a cold and this comes on the telly watch it.
