Only sporadically entertaining.

Rating: 3/4 -- Like the salsa music that provides the musical backdrop, this pleasantly low-key rom-com proves to be smoothly seductive. Full Review

One can't fend off the feeling that we've been here before, and with some regularity.

The first contemporary romantic comedy I've seen in years that feels as if it's made by a real human being for other real human beings.

Another example of the unfortunate trend toward sentimentality in British films. Full Review

Some of this is funny, most of it just fills space, and the best dancing is done by obvious professionals, not the actors.

Rating: 4/5 -- In its own modest, genial terms, the picture succeeds.

Product Description:

Scottish writer-director David Kane (THIS YEAR'S LOVE) directs his sophomore effort, BORN ROMANTIC, a bittersweet comedic ensemble-piece about London lonelyhearts struggling with the quest for love. Jimmy (Adrian Lester) is a Brixton cab driver, who, along with a pair of nameless co-workers, (John Thomson and Ian Hart) offers philosophical musings and observations on love while ferrying a group of confused singles to and from a popular salsa club. Frankie (Craig Ferguson) is a Dean Martin wannabe looking to escape the sloping flat he shares with his angry ex-wife, while Eddie, a dimwitted thief, stumbles on the club when trying to outrun the police. Both men find themselves returning after meeting Eleanor (Olivia Williams), a cold, brutally blunt art historian to whom Frankie is drawn, and Jocelyn (Catherine McCormack), a nerdy, death-obsessed grave tender, who catches Eddie's fancy. Meanwhile, Fergus (David Morrissey) a failed rock & roller, begins a search for his long-lost love, Mo (Jane Horrocks), armed only with a list of her "likes"--Bloody Marys, rollerskating, and the British Museum--to help track her down. Featuring a uniformly strong cast, Kane's film is a comedy that truthfully examines urban loneliness and the difficulties of finding and keeping love.
