I don't know why the Brits hate James Corden so much. He is obviously talented. I loved him as Smithy but this is a very different more dramatic role. The film is an ode to love. Beautifully styled with gorgeous London views and glamorous people living glamorous lives. Everyone is stylish and beautiful. Most especially Armadinne who is breath takingly gorgeous. Therein lies a small issue central to the plot, cos it just didn't seem possible to me that this wealthy, glamorous, sophisticated and exceedingly beautiful woman would fall so madly in love with the poor, working class, overweight, stodgy though seemingly ambitious chef that is Smithy.
However that aside, the cameos by Tom Jones, the Coco Chanel sidebar, the music and the sheer magic of the writing all add up to a highly watchable show. I can't wait for series 2.
