Un coeur pour deux

This was a good movie.

The cast were excellent.

Simone Lahbib played a great part.

The movie gave me fond memories of Scotland, i actually thought it was filmed on the Isle of Skye when you have a picturesque scenery, around the lochs of Scotland .

The friendly nature of Scottish people, your half way there.

I think the previous comments did not reflect the true spirit of the movie.

I was amazed the movie was filmed at East Kilbride

May be not a complete waste of one and a half hours, but I can think of plenty of better ways to spend the time. In fairness though this one off TV drama did have a couple of things going for it, the beautiful scenery for one, and the acting wasn't all that bad.

The problem I had with it though was the script, painfully predictable, and it had been done before. In essence there was not much need to watch the program, the advertising trailer pretty much gave you all you need to know to plot the course of the story from beginning to end.

However I managed to sit through it, and I must admit at some points laughing at the humour, the dog incident and the small Scottish band were notable moments. They could not save it though. There were small glimpses that the cast and crew were trying to produce something with meaning and purpose, in fact the only reason I can think of for why they had Angus Deayton with that ridiculous hair cut was to make him look uglier, but in the end the inevitable predictability of it all was its down coming.

A predictable movie that ambles along in picture postcard style with all the right buttons being pressed along the way as a self centered divorce lawyer turns into a spontaneous loving new age man being cheered on by every stereotype normally found in a Scottish village from the wise but feisty grandma down to the shy but honest rejected suitor. Of course the scenery and music are wonderful but these alone are not enough to carry the movie.

The only worthwhile thing about it was the performance of the lead actress Simone Lahbib who somehow was wildly attractive without being overtly sexy at all. I would watch this movie just to see her playing the widow who discovers she still has a heart.

...including the sublime, divine Simone Lahbib. Here all dark and wind-blown. Exotic. Earthy. Really, the woman is a chameleon. I've yet to see her play anything near the same role twice. And the only reason I've seen her in as much brit TV as I have, most of it unavailable in the states, is the kindness of fellow "Bad Girls" fans. Thank you. Aye, I'd watch her in anything.

This film has some of the quirk and fey scots charm of the series "Monarch of the Glen"...which Ms. Lahbib also graced for a season.

A simple little romantic comedy for TV, it reminds one a bit of the movie written and directed by actress Bonnie Hunt, "Return to Me," since the plot involves a heart transplant recipient unaccountably drawn towards the widowed partner of the deceased.

The music is lovely and will stick in your head afterwards. It's a confection light as candy floss (or the recurring balloons sent over the loch)but there are some genuine heartfelt moments that will stay with you. Though even romantic comedy in Scottish hands has something of a brash in-your-face tone to it.

UNfortunately it is movies like these that make English retirees move and populate Scotland ! Absolute trite and as far removed from reality as you can imagine it . However I do not regonise the spot and would appreciate if someone could identify , to me it was a collage of places and not set in one spot.Acting was good however and Angus very convincing . Suppourting cast was staid and totally without true interest. As ssiad before if pople think this is true Scotland then they need to look again !.

Overall- trite !!these sort of movies funded bu Scottish money but do the reverse for Scotland !!
