What's it about: After watching Barney's Version, you can't but help getting a sense of d ufffdj vu about another romantic comedyu00a0-- Four Weddings and a Funeral. The Hugh Grant film went on earn enormous commercial and critical success thanks to its lucid plot and colourful ensemble cast. Similarly, Barney's Version works mostly because of the ensemble cast, including an effortless performance by Paul Giamatti (Sideways). He plays a Canadian TV producer who realises his heart, sometimes goofs up and falls for the wrong woman. The story is simple and there are no surprise twists or sub-plots that need explanation. Less is more.
