Jeff Goldblum is an actor in London, a sidekick to a vicious comedian (Rowan Atkinson, natch). He falls in love with Emma Thompson, loses his sidekick job, and finds one as part of a company doing (I kid you not) a musical version of The Elephant Man.

This is screamingly funny. Firstly, Jeff Goldblum is a serious honey. No kidding. Looks, talent, charm. He's got it. Emma Thompson, although not a honey in any movie but Treasure Planet is also very easy on the eye, and their dalliance is hilarious. Plus the musical, oh my GOD, what a hilarious sendup of overblown RSC and Andrew Lloyd Webber style musicals! it's too good to miss.

And it's a nice love story too.

Watch it when you want a feel good movie that will make you laugh til you cry.

Reality police: Like Jeff Goldblum would have trouble finding a girlfriend, give me a break.
