As with Love Actually (also written by Richard Curtis) almost a decade later, I've never gotten the appeal of this film, which I've tried to watch once or twice before.  (I can't remember if I succeeded.)  It's not dreadful but it is dreadfully coy and "witty."  I was relieved to see that MacDowell didn't annoy in the first quarter hour (she's hardly in it and her humongous hat gives a more memorable performance), since I remember needing the greatness of Groundhog Day to win me over to her after first seeing this movie.  Mike Newell directed.
