3.0 out of 5 stars Buy this please!!, January 31, 2008

A very young HG at his worst...but ever so cute and out of sync. Props are hilarious, they look like out of a high school play. But most entertaining when you factor in how good those two (Grant and Samms) are today. I pull it out and play it for fans who want a good laugh. What can I say...everyone needs a DVD like this one for pure enjoyment. I love HG and this is just part of the library.

This review is from: The Lady & The Highwayman (DVD)

I recently copied my old VHS copy--recorded when this movie aired on TV back in 1988--over onto DVD and remembered how delightfully hilarious this movie is. It isn't supposed to be hilarious, but it is. This is the first thing I ever saw Hugh Grant in, and it's colored my opinion of him ever since. (Oh, and the description of the movie above is wrong. His character falls in love with the character played by Lisette Anthony, not Emma Samms).

This is melodrama at its best, and since it's based on a novel by the queen of the melodramatic historical romance novels--Barbara Cartland--that is to be expected. But it's worth viewing just to see Hugh Grant at his most awkward in one of his first-ever roles.
