Read the previous part in this series: the film careers of Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant, here.
By 2009, the new version of Doctor Who had become not only an integral part of Saturday night television and a huge Christmas ratings winner but also an international success all over again. David Tennant, who had played the Time Lord since 2005 and was, arguably, more popular than any Doctor since the mighty Tom Baker hung up his scarf in 1981, had announced his resignation from the part he loved in October 2008. Many wondered how the incoming showrunner, Steven Moffat, would follow Tennant and what kind of show would emerge.

Romantic comedies are good for you in moderation. More than most genres, rom-coms are forced to adhere to a strict regimen, hardly ever drawing outside of the lines; however many laughs, a moderate level of drama, and a happy ending—even those that end poorly have a Silver Lining. Producer-turned first time filmmaker Dan Mazer stays true to its format, following the tumultuous first year of marriage for Nat (Rose Byrne) and Josh (Rafe Spall) and though I Give It a Year never surprises, it equally never disappoints with a lively ensemble cast and enough laughs to maintain its audience’s attention.
The film opens at the wedding. The best man, Danny (a brilliant comedic turn for Stephen Merchant) gives the prerequisite speech and does not disappoint. He inadvertently hits on two ten year-old bridesmaids (“Maybe when they’re older, never say never,...
