Press clippings

Hugh Grant does his usual charming diffident Hugh Grant thing in this Welsh-set family romcom. He plays a cartographer who declares that the pride of a village, its "mountain", is in fact just a big hill. Cue plans to raise the mound's height, with the inevitable love interest wallowing in the wings.
