-Very Mixed reviews, some of them are good and some very bad, Mainly directed at Richard Curtis though.
-Opening starts with a heavy romantic genre/theme.
The theme is multicultural and shows all sex's, age's and cultures. A negative point is it uses very heavy sterotypes.
- Women not used for male gaze in the opening.
- Opening is very emotional, Makes the audience feel good.
