Rating:  - Romantic Favorites with Hugh Grant
what American woman would'nt love this one! My favs in order: Love Actually, About a Boy, Notting Hill, Bridget Jones II
Rating: - Hugh Grant x 4 - or - Love, British Style
THE ROMANTIC FAVORITES COLLECTION (from UNIVERSAL) is comprised of four quite popular British-based films that humorously explore several aspects of love. Transfer quality of these single-title DVDs is "top shelf." A must-have for Hugh Grant fans!
SYNOPSES--
ABOUT A BOY-- Best Screenplay Oscar-nominated story of a wealthy but selfishly irresponsible fellow (Will) who pretends to be a single parent so that he can hit on women at support group meetings. Through one of these relationships, Will meets a 12-year-old (Marcus) who is struggling in school. His efforts at helping Marcus teach Will how to be a better man.
BRIDGET JONES: THE EDGE OF REASON-- The sequel to "Bridget Jones's Diary" has her relationship with lawyer Mark Darcy fallen on hard times after only a month. Bridget travels to Thailand with her ex-boss (and love interest), and while there she lands in jail after an international incident. Will Mark come to her rescue?
LOVE ACTUALLY-- Explores the ups and downs in the love lives of 12 different people during the month or so prior to Christmas. Some of the stories intersect. The engrossing script is deftly handled by a superior cast-- includes several great cameos.
NOTTING HILL-- An unassuming British bookshop owner has two chance meetings with a glamorous and famous American actress and for both of them it's love-at-first sight (or second).
THE ROMANTIC COMEDY COLLECTION (from WARNER HOME VIDEO) is a triple-feature of circa-2005 movies that star Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, John Cusack, Jennifer Anniston and others.

Rating:  - Romantic Favorites Collection - Hugh Grant is wonderful!!
i bought this collection for my daughters who are away at college. I packed it along with some packets of microwave popcorn & sent it to them as a surprise care package from Mom. They absolutely loved it. Hugh Grant is so charming in all 4 films, even when he's playing the bad guy!!
Rating: - good solid collection
a good solid romantic comedy pack for all, but they are have hugh grant so you must be at least able to tallerate him, i cant say i would have bought them all apart but im glad i have them, quality stuff especially love actually and about a boy fantastic and notting hill is classic, the reason i bought it. injoy n God bless.
Rating: - good but not exactly what I thought
I got this primarily to get "Love Actually" the rest was just bonus for the price. But I did find it odd that it is the sequel to Bridget Jones. Why put a sequel in a box set without its original?
Anyway quality was good and I don't regret the purchase but now I need to go get the original cause it just feels silly not to at this point.
