The true love story of this film is the real life story of love between Vanessa Redgrave and Franco Nero, who first starred together as Lancelot and Guenever in the 1967 film version of
Camelot. Originally a sappy singing duo whose sensual screen romance shocked and enticed the world so many years ago, they now live as man and wife and sparkle together again in this sweet little romcom.
The Minnie Mouse type Amanda Seyfried forced lines and dressed 40 while her quirks wooed the male counterpart MIckey Mouse with his equally awkward walk and quintessential British mannerisms. The fiance', Victor (Gael García Bernal), played Goofy very well.
But this Disney trio was not the endearing focus. Stepping back, it was the precious connection between Juliet (Redgrave) and her Romeo (Nero). And it was the sweet, felt longing for a mother to come and simply listen, spend time, and so gently brush the hair of a sweet daughter. This was what made this film endearing, enjoyable, and sweet.
