WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Keith Michaels (Grant), an award-winning screenwriter who has since floundered his career, reluctantly accepts a position at a small university in New York teaching a screenwriting course to students. There, not only does he fall for single mother Holly (Tomei) but also finds an undiscovered sense of self-respect…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Fanatics of the classic Hugh Grant rom-com will find plenty of material to savour here, and it should be mentioned that the editor of this website also did a screenwriting course at university so should definitely be a film right up their street (right?….)
