I love this movie, we have it on dvd but I record it whenever it’s on too 😂

Parminder Nagra shoulda had Keira Knightley's career
so sad

Right? She's a brilliant actress and elevates everything she's in. I recently saw an ad for Maternal and immediately thought it had to be good with her in it. She's a safe pair of hands for sure.

Being young and naive at the time, I was honestly shocked that Keira and not Parminder emerged as the star (and I like Keira)

At least Archie's quasi-booked and busy.

One of the best comfort watch movies of all time. GET YOUR LESBIAN FEET OUT OF MY SHOES!

Should've been lesbians, but I loved it anyway.

Weird to think that Parminder was like 10 years older than her character. She didn’t look it.

Whet!?!?

[automaticpeople]

I think she was like 26 and the character was meant to be 16?

[angebleu]

Yeah, and Keira was 16 in the movie! She was so young.
