Wie schreibt man Liebe? (2014)

Wie schreibt man Liebe?: Directed by Marc Lawrence. With Hugh Grant, Whit Baldwin, Vanessa Wasche, Enid Graham. An Oscar-winning writer in a slump leaves Hollywood to teach screenwriting at a college on the East Coast, where he falls for a single mom taking classes there.

“What a fun and charming movie. Itu0026#39;s so good to see Hugh Grant in a film that utilizes both his comedic timing and that letu0026#39;s him ground himself in things a bit more serious. It would be easy to dismiss this film as formulaic (and I suppose it is to a certain extent, but what movie isnu0026#39;t these days?), but it does allow Grantu0026#39;s character to peel back some layers to reveal a man more complicated and not quite so lacking in depth as you might expect at first. Marisa Tomei is wonderful as Grantu0026#39;s student and confidant. Itu0026#39;s so nice to see two talented actors of comparable age building a terrific camaraderie and rapport with each other and the dialogue. JT Simmons is terrifically funny with a nice supporting role as the dean. In fact, the whole supporting case is great. This is the movie that happens when you have a tremendous cast, taking a nice story, and making it believable and funny without some of the hackneyed tics that Hollywood always likes to tack on. Really worth your time.”
