Tom, gardener at the big house, can talk to plants but not to women. When beautiful Polish au pair Anya arrives for the summer, Tom falls for her catastrophically like the felling of one of the giant trees he cares for in the grounds.
Whatever its shortcomings next to professional product, its existence alone is cheering.
It's gentle, well-meaning, a bit watery.
Bravo to their endeavour, if not to the impossibly laboured jokes, the hopeless acting and the air of utter inconsequence.
Laugh-out-loud humour and a replacement for Hugh Grant replacement. Bish bosh.
Coming over like a collaboration between untutored admirers of Richard Curtis and Benny Hill.
