this be a movie about an english auctioneer who propose to the daughter of a mafioso . unfortunately this collision of two to three different language and culture be sadly neglect in the movie . the few time it consider it you would wish it have rather not . just remember the painful scene when hugh grant try to speak american or brooklyn or italian slang . or when jeanne tripplehorn laugh about the way hugh grant run . hugh grant be occupy to deliver his usual acting in his main character . when watch it you can almost forget that he be able to be really funny and be able to deliver respectable acting as well . when an actor be only able to do one kind of character and who care when it be do well . do anybody blame cary grant for just do this . everybody who saw maurice know that hugh grant be able to act . he be also able to be funny a he prove in four wedding and a funeral . so what be the problem with mickey blue eye . i reckon it be the script . who can fight against such a story . and the co actor where at a loss as well . james caan be vague and jeanne tripplehorn could also do good . maybe it be not only the script but the director too .
