Director : Lone Scherfig
Running Time : 108 mins
Dexter (Sturgess) and Emma (Hathaway) meet in 1988, and sleep together on the night they meet. Every year on the same day we see how their lives have progressed, and what stage they are at in their relationships with both each other and other people.
This was an interesting movie, with an original concept, but it fell a little short of being brilliant. It was somewhat distracting having Hathaway doing a Northern accent, and Sturgess going from posh to cockney for his television persona was unlikely, as generally is was people who didn’t speak ‘proper English’ that were getting presenting jobs in the 90s. Fans of David Nicholls might be disappointed as this is nowhere close to being as good as Starter For Ten, and the random sad ending was a bit of a downer, but it does have its moments that work quite well.
