If there was thing in common for these three films, it would be that they are somewhat lightweight, but still good entertainment. Hugh Grant is looking an even older lothario than usual in Music and Lyrics. But he still manages to give a great performance, and Drew Barrymore was always my favourite of Charlie's Angels. The ratings have always averaged two stars, but I found the whole film totally engaging and give it four.
Which is more than the other two films. Hot Fuzz was just slightly disappointing after the wonderful Shawn of the Dead, with too many repetitive jokes, and hammy acting. But good fun. I probably saw the twist in the Illusionist far later than anyone else. But is was good to be tricked for so long. It was just a shame about the casting of Edward Norton in the main role. Any other actor would have improved the film immensely.
