So refreshing to see a film that does not depend on special effects and computer graphics, but revolves around people - pure and simply. Bennet's script is sharp, witty, poignant and just wonderful. Was in tears several times during the film - mainly through laughter -the french lesson has to be seen to be believed - but also with touches of sadness. Although I didn't recognise many of the "boys" from other films, I suspect this film will be the jumping board for many successful film careers. They managed to get the characters so right. Loved them all by the end. Cant wait for the DVD to come out so I can watch this over and over again.
