Born Romantic
- Rating:
- Director:
- Starring: Craig Ferguson
- Details: UK / 100 mins (15PG).
The romantic travails of six London thirty-somethings may sound familiar (director-writer Kane was responsible for This Year's Love (1999)) and this tale - played out against a background of salsa clubs - has little new to offer. However, the cast are sharp, the proceedings are slickly attended to and the feel-good buzz isn't achieved too cynically.
