Plot: In modern-day London, three men and three women fall in and out of love and back again, to the Greek-chorus accompaniment of two cab drivers (Ian Hart and John Thomson), who engage in an ongoing conversation about sex. In one pairing, Eleanor (Olivia Williams), a sophisticated and slightly anal art restorer, is pitted against Frankie (Craig Ferguson), a smartly dressed divorcee who still shares a flat with his bitter ex-wife. The two meet one night at a salsa club, and a caustic attraction soon flourishes. Another pairing sees Mo (Jane Horrocks), a tough, love-'em-and-leave-'em Liverpuddlian, reunite with Eddie (Jimi Mistry), a clumsy bloke who was in love with Mo years before and now dreams of winning her back. Meanwhile, Jocelyn (Catherine McCormack), a young woman both neurotic and without self-esteem, finds unlikely happiness with the slovenly Fergus (David Morrissey), who bemoans the lack of love in his life. Born Romantic is the second feature of British writer/director David Kane, who made his feature debut with the similarly themed This Year's Love in 1999. ~ Rebecca Flint Marx, All Movie Guide

Sexy little romp!
Added 9/18/2009

I prefer the movies that Craig writes himself and I dont believe this to be one of them.
It's a sexy movie with a dark edge to it. Not enough Craig in it though! I prefer "Saving Grace", and "I'll Be There".

I purchased this movie based on other reviews and was sorely disappointed. It was a waste of time and money.

Romantic and quirky
Added 3/10/2007

This film passes muster for me because it is romantic, quirky and the characters are linked in interesting ways. The main threads in this film that bring the characters together are a salsa club and a cab driver with an interesting past. Very BBC. A warning for some: as in many British films, there are a few spots of F-word spouting, which is why it is rated R.

Hard to Find DVD
Added 11/4/2006

This romantic comedy was charming, funny, and clever. I recommend it to anyone who doesn't have a problem with heavy British accents. (If you do, try it with captions). It was fun, funny, and a nice pick-me-up when one needs a lift.

Old fashioned search for love story...
Added 11/4/2006

If you're looking for exciting chase scenes, gratutious nudity, explicit sex scenes, and formulaic mega-spectacle, then this one is not for you. But, you will love this movie if you love dance, dancers, searchers for true love, cynics whom true love find, oddballs who find their one true soul mate, and good guys who win in the end. All in one underrated and underreviewed masterpiece. Ignore the naysayers. Take a chance and see this one. Share it with someone you love. You will not regret it.
