...familiar and practically obligatory scenes of any romantic comedy become endearing when they give us the accurate awkwardness of Iris and Miles’s first date, in which he attempts to make light of an “accidental boob graze,” and the hilarious spectacle of drunken Amanda perusing the aisles of an English market in search of fuel for her post break-up carb binge.

In a nearby paddock, a dozen fit horses graze; breathy plumes escape from nostrils in the cool early-morning air. Burton points out a rust-colored old shack.

As a sudden spasm of scalding viciousness, this scene is up there with the hot-coffee clash in The Big Heat...
