British movies

I'll start by saying Randy and I were both under the weather.
I was still battling what I hope is just allergy symptoms.
Randy thought he might be getting a cold.

We watched three British movies.
The actors were British filmed in the UK.
We found a huge difference in what is considered comedy.

Little Voice with Michael Caine and Brenda Blethyn
Jane Horrocks (as Little Voice) and Ewan McGregor
imdb genre: comedy, drama, romance, music
We classified this one as romantic drama.
To us the romance was between the young people.
Not sure where the comedy was in this movie.

I'll be There with Craig Ferguson and Charlotte Church
Jemma Redgrave played the mother
imdb genre: comedy, musical, romance
This was the best of the three movies watched today.
We classified this simply as drama while we did notice some comedy.
It's a great little movie about a father and daughter reuniting.
There was rekindled love (romance) between father and mother.

Born Romantic cast included Jane Horrocks and Craig Ferguson
We actually stopped watching a little over half way thru - bored
imdb genre: comedy and by title would expect romance
We could not figure out the point of the movie.
We simply classify this one as drama NOT comedy or romance.
