Film Review Research- Dani

In order to get an idea of what sort of style to write a film review in, i did some research and looked at a few romantic comedy reviews that relate to our film.

The Gaurdian-
'My Last Five Girlfriends'

Based on Alain de Botton's novel Essays in Love, this self-consciously smart romantic comedy begins with Duncan, a London architect, writing a farewell note, then recalling the assorted girls who drove him to suicide. Woody Allen is clearly Kemp's model, and the self-pitying protagonist sees his life as a theme park, recording his disastrous life as sideshows. The girls are attractive enough, though only Naomie Harris has much life, and the film's chief appeal is likely to reside in its numerous fashionable locations.

Here i found a short review which is almost like a synopsis and for readers who may be looking at number of reviews, rather than focusing on this one in particular due to the length of it.


'Little White Lies' uses a similar technique in reviewing films, with a film magazine as well as their own website, they review all types of different genres. They rate films our of 5 and on the website, some contain clips or trailors.

'Just as movies are about more than the two hours you spend sitting in the cinema, our reviews are a chance to talk about much more than the immediate experience of the film in question. There are many different aspects of the movie-going experience and we will embrace them all'
