a fabulous film and which i have now watch several time over since buy the video only four day ago . yes i be a colin firth fan and colin be his usual talented and natural gorgeous self . the interaction between colin ( matthew field ) and fissy ( sammy and nimi 7 year old son ) be very special and so natural to watch . they be hilariously funny together and also touch my heart string . the scene which i love the most be sammy and matt sit on the wall chatting and matt then fall backwards off the wall in an hilarious fashion ( i would not reveal the content of their discussion so a not to spoil the plot ) . also very hilarious be sammy quiz matt about sex and colin and fissy be perfect in this scene and make what can be an awkward subject between adult and child just so natural . colins word and face at the end of that scene be so delightful and say it all . just brilliant . credit and of course and must also go to fissy robert for his delightful portrayal of sammy . he play such a lovable and cheeky child character . the two actor be just perfect together . the interaction between colin ( matt ) and nia ( nimi ) be perfectly balance and i couldn not agree more that the chemistry between them be wonderful to watch and display love and tension and of course passion . it be excite to see how their delicate blossoming romance gradually unfolded and also show how their cultural and social divide affect their relationship and be good to see how colin and nia sensitively portray matt and nimi discovering and accepting and overcome these difference . it keep me fix to the tv and guess right until the end of the film . colins portrayal of matt vulnerable and juvenile side be also perfectly portray and so much so and that i find it be difficult to watch when matt be so mean and childish towards sammy because he ( matt ) felt that sammy be get in the way of his romance or relationship with sam mother nimi . one couldn not help feel very disappointed and angry and frustrate with matt for treat sammy this way and this in turn threaten to spoil matts special relationship with sammy and nimi . colins special talent of get inside a character head and displaying to the audience the different side of a character and be very much in evidence here and pure magic to watch . i must also mention that colin also have such a good rapport with young actor ( see also my life so fara wonderful and not to be miss film ) . i also love the relationship between matthew and his wife jenny and both be excellent in display to the audience the dark side and tension within their marriage and that not all seemingly happy marriage be quite what they may seem from the outside . i mustn not forget to mention the reverend whom i think be very funny and in a serious sort of way . also nimi mother and family be hilarious as well a bring across the importance of nimi culture and her situation . the downside and i can not really find a downside and but to be objective about the film and to give credibility to my review and the only negative comment that i would make be that the script writer do not explain in enough detail a to why matt collapse in the car and there be only a vague suggestion and from nimi and of something be wrong with his heart . however and this do not detract from my enjoyment of the film and far from it . i just need to rewind the tape a little for a 2nd take . i felt that this film have it all and entertaining and uplifting and i love the rich colour and sunny scenery . the film warm up a cold winter day and make me smile represent ) ) all the essential element be there and laughter and love and tension and sadness and anger and drama and a warm feel good factor and with and yes plenty of those delicious colin firth moment include a very soaked colin in a wet shirt scene and not to be miss by any fan and what more could a girl want while ) ) i would strongly recommend this film and specially to any colin firth fan while ) .
