“Itu0026#39;s rare in a u0026quot;rom comu0026quot; to have a leading lady who does not try to look at least 20 years younger than she really is! It is rarer still these days to find a film where the central character is a lady of a u0026quot;certain ageu0026quot;. Fiona Gillies pulls this off with enormous aplomb. This film delivers class acting with a well written and observed screen play. London is depicted as a working city which most of us recognise, rather than the u0026quot;touristu0026quot; version we mostly see in other movies.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAlthough at times our credibility was somewhat stretched, the film carried us with it and was a thoroughly enjoyable. The soundtrack was particularly good. Look out for the scene in the park where Amanda tries to impress Dan and gets into a tangle! Pure comedy.”
