Highly recommended!

The 2022 film "A Grand Romantic Gesture" from filmmaker Joan Carr-Wiggin conains all the wonderfully humorous, ironic, touching dialogue and quirky plot twists so characteristic of her work. The "star-crossed lovers" Simon and Ava (Douglas Hodge and Gina McKee) are as unforgettable as, say, the love triangle Abby, Luke and Kayla (Natasha Little, Rupert Penry-Jones and Rachel Blanchard) in her 2020 film, "Getting to Know You."A delightful surprise was that the music by Kenneth Harrison includes "Never Enough," performed by boywonderbread, over the end credits. The soundtrack is available on Apple Music.Only quibble is that the Blu-Ray disk, from Gravitas Ventures, contains only the film and subtitles setting - no commentary, interviews, location photographs, etc.

Excellent performances by two fabulous British talents

This is a beautiful, gentle, romantic comedy, with absolutely fabulous performances by the leads.Simply can't agree with other reviews that describe this as a waste of talent and humdrum. Sure, if you don't understand irony or romanticism then it's not for you.Why would you assume locale from the cast? Would you expect Oppenheimer to be from Ireland and set in Birmingham (UK not US) hahaha!!I've always felt Douglas Hodge goes a bit unrecognised. As for Gena McKee, for me this is right up there with "Our Friends In The North". Love you guys!We're all entitled to our opinions, I guess that's what makes the world on occasions.

Try a similar movie instead

I really wanted to like this movie and at the beginning I did. Mostly because it reminded me of the Marcia Gay Harden movie "If I Were You." - similarly that movie involves a middle-aged lead that falls into a local theatre production and plot evolves from there.This movie got a little too messy at the end with the leads coming off a bit too unlikable for my taste. The ending didn't work for me either - it seemed like they wanted to have it both ways. I would have liked to see the plot of Romeo and Juliet connecting with the plot of the leads a bit more.Things I liked - you could definitely see the spark between the leads.I like this genre but this one just didn't quite hit the mark for me.
