1 star each for Hugh Skinner, pub landlord and the villagers. Lumley is an angry Patsy, but love her. Her "oh piss off" is classic and very few could pull it off.
Why why why do they make female leads SO aggressive, dysfunctional in relationships and lacking in self-awareness these days? The promotion scene was cringe, her behaviour to her very nice bf was gross, she lives with him and had never told him before of her burning desire to be an opera singer and she decides by herself to turn their lives upside down by ditching everything for a year and choking him in a restaurant tells him to either toast it or F off?! The 0-100 leap Max made from resenting her to helping her and falling for her was implausible. Where are all these men in real life falling over themselves to worship at the feet of these shallow, selfish, aggressive and obese women?
A female lead doesn't have to be pretty and slim per se but if you're making a romcom intended to tug at heart strings then there has to be an appeal, a certain feminine softness and depth alongside integrity and resolution.
