I was watching a Hugh Grant movie after over 5 years... & I still smile at his performance in LoveActually. But I've grown to get annoyed of his unchanging mannerisms. & SJP... The ONLY thing I liked her was in a few episodes of SATC. Keeping aside all my prejudices, (& coerced by Roger) I sat down to watch DYHATM. & in 7 hours I had already forgotten most of the movie. All of the movie was revealed in its trailer & didn't have much imagination to encash on the out-of-towners pitch. The characters lacked chemistry and what could have been a 10 minute short-film seemed to be dragged on for 90 mins.
Favourite scenes include: The nurse/waitress/fire-assistant stupidity, the assistants, the log-cutting scene, the cow-milking scene.
Alternate Ending: The primary characters were so undimensional, that I was rooting for their assistants. I'd love a parallel story-line as I found them far more interesting. & also, a few more appearances by the bear would have been funny.
First Viewed: With Roger at home in Doha.
Rating- 1.5*
