“Starter for 10” –
James McAvoy, Rebecca Hall, Alice Eve, Benedice Cumberbatch, Dominic Cooper
I love Brit humor anyway and their romances always feel much more down to earth and real to me than the Hollywood beautiful people stuff. This is refreshing perhaps because it had so many new faces to me, and the “ugly duckling” wins in it. She is far from ugly but when you stack up a tall, slim brunette with political views, and activist tendencies against a gorgeous, buxom, bright blond with no such ambitions and instead dreams of being an actress, well you get the picture. It is a valuable lesson in friendships, forgiveness, and following your heart, (not other parts South!) As long as our lead can remember he has wanted to be on University Quiz Show, he gets a scholarship and leaves his pals by the wayside and heads off to get a real education. The hilarity is complete with Tarts and Vicars parties, impossible room mates, and best friends that can be real cads. Check this one out!
