In modern-day London, three men and three women fall in and out of love and back again, to the Greek-chorus accompaniment of two cab drivers (Ian Hart and John Thomson), who engage in an ongoing conversation about sex. In one pairing, Eleanor (Olivia Williams), a sophisticated and slightly anal art restorer, is pitted against Frankie (Craig Ferguson), a smartly dressed divorcee who still shares a flat with his bitter ex-wife. The two meet one night at a salsa club, and a caustic attraction soon flourishes. Another pairing sees Mo (Jane Horrocks), a tough, love-'em-and-leave-'em Liverpuddlian, reunite with Eddie (Jimi Mistry), a clumsy bloke who was in love with Mo years before and now dreams of winning her back. Meanwhile, Jocelyn (Catherine McCormack), a young woman both neurotic and without self-esteem, finds unlikely happiness with the slovenly Fergus (David Morrissey), who bemoans the lack of love in his life. Born Romantic is the second feature of British writer/director David Kane, who made his feature debut with the similarly themed This Year's Love in 1999. ~ Rebecca Flint Marx, Rovi

    I really liked this movie. I was surprised how much I liked it! It starts out kind of slow and strange, but give it time.... it evens out. Unless you understand the British accent really well, it is easier to follow if you turn on the subtitles in English. (The characters often speak very fast, and I could not understand them at all without the subtitles.) The dialogue is completely believable, and often very funny. There is drama as well. I definitely recommend this movie, but only to someone who has a little patience and appreciates the time taken for character building. The soundtrack is great also!

    I think I enjoyed watching other actors trying not to laugh at Craig Ferguson. And what a delight to see David in a movie Not killing someone. Thorne is excellent but I like the goofy David Morrissey much better. Ian Hart is a treat to watch-he can express loneliness very well.

    This movie starts out like a slow train out of the station and gathers steam until it is really enjoyable. Great characters, really funny at times. As someone else noted, the accents may be difficult to understand but this is a really good movie.
