I love this movie not just because it was moving but because it was funny too. Its about a girl named Claire who moves to London with her boyfriend. He then dumps her and abandons her all alone in a new city. She applies for a job but ends up getting sick during the interview. A charming and kind guy helps her get a small job in a company where she applied. They soon become an item and fall in love. However, Claire then discovers she is pregnant with her ex boyfriends baby. She ends up telling her current boyfriend that its his baby. The couple set about making a new home for the little baby. Unfortently the truth comes out and he dumps her... Welli don't want to give the rest away but needless to say it is just as exciting and confusing in second part. This film is one of My all time favorites. I would strongly recommend watching this, Even if you don't like soppy chick flicks. Anna friel is supported with a strong cast full if witty and slightly crazy Characters.

Anna Friel plays an embarrassingly stupid Dublin girl who jets off to London with her boyfriend for a job that's really just a job interview. The interview ends disastrously, she's dumped by the boyfriend and then, literally, bumps into one of the interviewers who (and who'd have guessed) just happens to fancy her.

Find herself pregnant by her previous boyfriend, she cons the new guy into believing he's the father. As the birth is earlier than expected, he realises what's been going on, walks out on her and she returns to Dublin.

Reconciliation with the father fails when the English boyfriend turns up and it all ends in a highly unbelievable lovey-dovey get-back-together at the airport.

This really is very much a "made-for-ITV" film: catering for the lowest common denominator in their target audience (i.e. try not to make the people think too much about what they're watching).

Friel's Oirish accent is passable and, of course, she gets her clothes off (it must have taken some time to get those nipples peeking out of the bubble bath by just the right amount).

Altogether, don't waste your time watching this if it should ever be repeated.

I'll be brief.

I'm a huge Marian Keyes fan. I'd read her grocery list if she'd let me. I own everything she's got in print and I love them all (especially her collection of journalism, Under The Duvet - I suggest you get it if you're reading this), and read them over and over again.

Watermelon is one of my favourites. (well, that and Lucy Sullivan and Sushi for Beginners) The book is hilarious, touching, and unsentimental despite the subject matter. The TV adaptation shares these things in common with the book: 1. The protagonist is called Claire. 2. The love interests are Adam and James. 3. Claire has a baby.

That's it. That's all they have in common. The TV has a completely different ending, and a completely different plot.

THOSE WHO HAVE READ THE BOOK AND LOVED IT: For Christ's sake don't watch this. It's beyond awful and will make you sad for the "real" Claire Walsh. (Not to mention Rachel and Maggie from Rachel's Holiday and Angels by association)

THOSE WHO HAVE SEEN THE TV ADAPTATION AND HATED IT: Please, please, PLEASE read the book. It's beyond fantastic and very very funny. It will reaffirm your faith in humanity, which has probably been destroyed after watching this piece of trash.

Awful awful awful film, ruining the great book! I know that some people think it's -such- a funny and sweet flick, but most people don't. And, maybe some of the reason is that they've read the book like me. The book is brilliant! If you have the choice between the book and the film; BOOK. It doesn't help that the movie is so bad, even if you haven't read the book. In the beginning the film says: based on the book by Marian Keyes. Well, it's based very loosely. Very. Anna Friel was also just to fresh looking, when she felt awful after having her baby it lasted for a day, and just... I'm mad. Please, everybody, read the book instead!

I was so excited when I saw this on Filmrise. It's nothing like the book. Nothing. Watch if you like, but don't watch it thinking it will be anything like the book. So disappointed because it's one of my favorites from Marian Keyes.

Really enjoyed watching with my 30 yr old daughter. Kind of chick-lit but that does not spoil the fun and light drama.

Based on the book by Marian Keyes??? The only similarities are: * the main character's name (but not even the correct surname) * the name of Claire's baby * the names of the two male characters * the fact that she moved home to Ireland after having Kate

The rest is completely wrong. Totally skewed!! If you've read the book, you will not like this movie. In fact, even if you haven't read the book, this movie is still absolute rubbish. What's with Claire speaking to the camera?? So cringie!! Anna Friel was very irritating, especially the accent.

movies made of books are often not as good as the book was, and this a perfect example!! The book was brilliant! The movie was horrible!! I stayed up late to watch this last night, and was more than disappointed..

they use the same names, but left some characters out, and changed the entire thing around. Claire met James while she was a waitress... and then they got married, and he left her on the day their baby, Kate, was born - so she fled back to ireland, to live at her parents house with her folks and 2 sisters... and she has 2 other sisters that don't live @ home.. all great characters.. (in the movie she has one BORING sister) and she goes out with a friend of one of the sister, Adam, and falls for him..

i wont give away any of the rest - the book is fab!

ignore the movie.. read the book!!

All I have to say is that the One and Only Jamie Draven is so very, very, very gorgeous, sexy, cute but most of all, one of the most sweetest, kind, caring and considerate guys in the world and I Love and Care for him more than anyone else in the whole world. In Watermelon, I personally think that Jamie gave one of his best performances ever because he shows how loving, caring and sharing a father can be towards his baby and the woman of his child. Jamie is a fantastic actor and he is a very diverse actor who shows how acting is done. I Love You, My Darling Jamie with all of my heart and I Always Will, Forever and that is a promise. Love Paula Draven

No,seriously water melon was a really good watch,and every one that seen it thought so aswell! is there any way i can buy it? a big clap to the writer!!! and a wee wink to jamie(lol) Lynsey.x.

Having read and loved the Marian Keyes novel was slightly disappointed when i heard that the only thing the book and the(made for TV) movie had in common was the title and the fact that she has a baby. Fair enough the two stories are fairly similar she is Irish, has a baby, falls in love with someone who is not the one who got her pregnant, moves back to ireland and so on. The fact is the little details that have been changed are the ones that get me. The names of the two men have been changed round in the book Adam is James and vice versa. James dosen't actually leave her until she has had the baby. Overall I thought the film was well made and enjoyable, but I recommend reading the book before seeing the tv version.
