Amazon.co.uk Review
The generic title of Martha - Meet Frank, Daniel and Laurence suggests a bland, by-the-numbers romantic comedy. Its dialogue certainly doesn't help--there's a lot of piffle about destiny and "having only one chance", etc.--but there are some surprising differences. The plot centres around Martha (Monica Potter), an American trying to start a new life in London. She meets three men (Tom Hollander, Rufus Sewell and Joseph Fiennes, who played the title role in Shakespeare in Love). These three are best friends and all three fall in love with her but the one she falls in love with feels like he's betraying the others to be with her. Despite the resulting confusion, she pursues him to the end--which makes it unlike most current romantic comedies where the woman is a hapless love object to be captured by the right guy. But more entertainingly, Martha - Meet Frank, Daniel and Laurence pays particular attention to the ways men delude themselves because the two friends Martha doesn't care for are both convinced she's hankering for them, which allows for some fairly subtle skewering of the male ego. It's a flimsy movie but no more so than Notting Hill and Joseph Fiennes, in particular, has a relaxed, winning charm that marks him as a rising star. --Bret Fetzer

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfectly delightful, Perfectly British!, 13 Nov 2001

By	Olly (Middlesex , United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

This has to be one of the best films I have seen in a very long time. It is funny, frustrating, enchanting, and very simple. The small loveable cast keeps the story moving at a steady pace, ensuring the viewer is entertained at every moment. Another classic British film, with signatory twists and turns of fate for four peoples lives, resulting, in a wonderful love story. Watch it, this film is magical!

5.0 out of 5 stars Notting Hill meets Forest Gump!, 15 April 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Martha, Meet Frank, Daniel And Laurence [VHS] [1998] (VHS Tape)

I give this film its odd title because with the amount of clever flashbacks in it you can be sure that one scene will explain a previous one.
This is a fantastic film which can be adored by both men and women due to its clever plot and excellent cast which can make you laugh and effortlessly relate to them.
You will also be happy to know that there is'nt a single character upstaging another. You would think that a high profile actor like Joseph Fiennes (Shakespear in love)would steal the show but thankfully the other actors suit their roles so perfectly that it almost seems like it is real.
Monica potter(cant believe I havent seen her in other things!)is fantastic as the young american willing to take a huge chance at changing her life and at the same time stumbling upon three hopeless romantics.
Hilarious, tear jirking,tense!
I recomend it to everyone everywhere.
