It is scenes such as Grant’s infamous boogie that render the film utterly ridiculous – and therefore endlessly rewatchable. The idea that “David” is “running the country” or engaging with literally any political issue while he flirts with Maggie Thatcher’s portrait, gets distracted from his job by his sexy secretary, feels “cool” after being elected to office and sings carols on Wandsworth doorsteps is laughable. Well, spoiler alert: that is the entire point. The clue’s in the “com”. We are not watching a film about the British constitution. We are watching a film about love. Actually.

And unlike most romcoms, which tend to follow one relationship from meetcute to happily ever after, here we have multiple storylines, which present different romantic challenges for all the different characters. There is the silliness of the Prime Minister and his crush, but there is also, to name a few, Daniel (Liam Neeson) losing his wife, Joanna, and helping his son with his own romantic conquest; Sarah (Laura Linney) caring for her mentally ill brother; Jamie (Colin Firth) being cheated on; Mark (Andrew Lincoln) being in love with his best mate’s wife (Keira Knightley); Harry and Karen’s marriage and his affair with his much younger assistant. Slightly skimmed over they may be, but they do touch on some of life’s most painful situations and realities; Curtis, problematic as he is, leaves certain challenges untouched – but to get an affair, a workplace romance, unrequited love, a bereavement, a language barrier and friendship all in one film isn’t bad going.Wakefield, Lily (12 December 2020).
