I feel connected to this movie, perhaps because it's very British (obviously). It was much better that I saw it here; after living in London for a month, I could pick out all the little things that I wouldn't have noticed otherwise. For example:
-Not knowing anything about the plot of the movie, I immediately knew that Hugh Grant was the Prime Minister just because he walked into 10 Downing Street. I screamed when he was greeted with "Hello, Mr. Prime Minister."
-I identified the biscuits that the PM was served: Digestives.
-I identified a few landmarks: the river Thames, the Gerkin, Big Ben, etc.
-Loved the Irish accent of the father character.
-Was amused by the anti-American slant: poor character of the US president & the way American girls were portrayed
-Agreed with one British character that he just had to open his mouth & be well received in the US because of his accent : )
This makes me want to stay and be British.

I love Digestives! Delicious and nutritious. And full of fiber (yay regularity)!
You know about Digestives?! Are they in the States?
Mmm digestives are good. Erm, I used to buy M&S brand ones. With chocolate. Haha.
