Should I watch this movie?


I mean it's about homosexuality.Never seen movies like this before.But am a great fan of Hugh Grant.For those who have watched it,do you think I should watch it and expect that no terribles scenes would come?

If the idea that two men caring deeply for each other bothers you, by all means do not watch this. I would add a personal editorial comment since you did ask: If watching murder, rape, things blowing up and all other types of violence does not bother you, please ask yourself why (only a few scenes of) two men in love is unwatchable.

There are a lot of other things going on in this film, including love between men and women; beautiful photography of the outdoors, wonderful old buildings and a lot of history. There are a few very brief scenes where men kiss and a bit of nudity, but nothing terribly graphic. I hope this helps you decide.

I can add a few things...

The acting is amazing in this film. Although the three male leads are very nice to look at, it's the performances that set it apart from other, similar movies. I can look at movies with pretty men all day, but the minute they're over, I won't give them a second thought. The wonderful level of acting in this movie makes it rise head and shoulders above all the others.

Oh, and did I mention that the three male leads, Hugh Grant included (although Rupert Graves is my ultimate), are very beautiful to look at?
