First aired on Masterpiece Theatre, this charming TV-movie stars Robson Green (Touching Evil, Reckless) and Caroline Goodall (The Mists of Avalon). Set in England, Green plays a tabloid reporter writing under the name "Mrs. Jones," who is assigned by his boss to try to get some dirt on the prime minister, Goodall. Ingratiating himself into her re-election campaign, he finds himself drawn to her, and must weigh his feelings against his assignment, while dodging the scrutiny of her staff.

It's a lovely, romantic movie, not to be taken too seriously. This point should be stressed as much occurs in the movie which takes a great deal of disbelief. Think of it as a modern fairy tale that sometimes surprises you. Well-acted by all, as I've come to expect from these productions, and Green and Goodall have nice chemistry together. In summary, it's fluff, but it's intelligent fluff.

[As a film note, both Keeley Hawes and Peter Firth (MI-5/Spooks television series actors) appear in this movie, although never in the same scenes.)

This is a very good movie to watch and especially if you are familiar with European customs. Robson Green is one of my favorite British actors and I tend to buy a lot of his movies when the movies are released. If you like Cinderella stories and maybe like to escape from reality every so often, then this is the movie for you. All the characters are very believeable and true to form. Even though something like this probably would not happen in real life, its always nice to dream. I recommend this movie to anybody, male or female.

'Me & Mrs Jones' is light, entertaining and romantic. It is well written, acted and filmed. Even the minor characters have personality. Though in todays world with security concerns, specificly our leaders it is unreal to believe the ease at which Harry Fletcher (Robson Green) gains access to the Prime Minister (Caroline Goodall), but if you put aside that, the movie is enjoyable from start to finish.

Absolutely delightful. Robson Green and cast are right on their marks. Great escapist fare.

I just watched Me & Mrs. Jones and it was a very good movie. In the vein of Sleepless in Seattle, this is a charming little story of finding love where you least expect it. And Robson Green showed once again why he is such a popular actor in Britain. He is very believable in the role and is a joy to watch.

I'm an American who loves Robson Green and his chemistry with Caroline Goodall is great in this escapist romantic comedy! I appreciate one reviewer's comparison to "Sleepless in Seattle" which I also liked very much but liked this even better! The supporting characters were well acted, the script interesting and pace exactly right. I played it for a guy and he liked it too - deeming is was much better than most "chick flicks". I recommend it as wonderful escapist fare for the romance that lies buried in all of us! Nice to see Phillip Quast in a dramatic role. I've only seen him in the Les Miz concert and admired his voice and acting ability. It deserves the "Masterpiece Theater" showing and so glad I added it to my DVD collection. Can watch it more than once! Green and Goodall are both wonderful to watch - Ivan was also fun and had some of the best comedic lines which he made the most of. If you like romance and seduction, you'll love this movie.

Thoroughly enjoyed Me and Mrs.Jones,and Robson Green's a delight. Enjoyed his character's growth and the other characters - esp. his friend whose house gets used for their 'dates' and his crush on the PM's bodyguard!

A funny and serious film all in one. A good story that could be fiction or non-fiction. Peter Firth does well in this film.

I love politics and had always admired Margaret Thatcher's strength as a global leader though certainly not ALL of her politics. I also admired the way she conducted herself. This film shows the real side of politics with its manipulations and vulnerabilities. If you like under-stated romance rather than sex-thrownin-your-face type movies, this one is for you. There are so many "hot" under the collar moments, its a fabulous treat.

Definitely worth purchasing for men and women. Not a chick-flick. I've known men who have enjoyed it too.

I enjoyed watching "Me and Mrs.Jones" I am a fan of Robson Green and I thought the film was pretty good. I also like the movies that "Masterpiece Theater" has on TV. as I don't always get to see them I thought here's one I haven't seen before. I was surprised as I found it quite entertaining.
