Beginners reviewed by Mark Kermode 

It was one of my favorite movies of the year.

The film’s well acted, well directed, well written, stylish, funny, well crafted & is an enjoyable comedy film. (80%) (4/5 stars) (positive)

I love it when he reviiews "quirky" films

"I find that quirky." "I find that slightly slappable." This made my day.

haven't seen it but that's a great review - he's a fine critic.

The impressions in are quite good.

I think I liked it a bit more that Kermode, but it would have been better if the female lead hadn't been some georgeous "Fronche blund" about whom there were very few details. The actress was very good, but the casting just made it more a shallow guy fantasy than I think they thought they were making. I agree with Kemode that the quirky was irritating. Yet, I really did like the performances and the graphics.

how come Mark Kermode always wears the same suit

terrible film. really, the only thing worth watching in this film is the dog. he deserves a medal or a bone for being in such an unabashed elitist pile of tedious crap.
