I had such a peculiar friend that each time, i bought a movies card for us, i finally got to theaters alone and it's a huge load of movies that i had to digest (and review afterward!). This first choice has been easy: The movie is set in the English countryside (a favorite place for my retirement!) and it stars the actress who beckons to my attention (the last Bond movie, the awful "Clash of the titans") but without leaving her identity. Now, i got her name right: Gemma Atterton!

I would recommend this movie because it plays brilliantly with a lot of characters. And it's not easy: you got to pay attention to everyone and manage to tell interesting individual stories in a larger story. It's like a mini soap opera but told with fun and moral. Every piece is nicely oiled and you witness a real orchestrated chaos.

In addition, England is a welcomed change from America or France and i was surprised how modern that country is. The houses and farms maintain their old looks but their interiors are neat, updated. In France, well, in a little town, the people live well, as before the wars: it's old, rustic... I am sure that Stephen King would have rated this movie excellent as well, because this paradise for writers is exactly what he tells in his book "On writing".
