This movie stars Steve Coogan, it also features Stephen Fry, Matt Lucas, David Walliams, Dara O'Briain, Chris Addison, Sarah Solemani, Simon Bird and James Lance. All are famous for being incredibly funny. So you could be forgiven for thinking that The Look of Love is a comedy. It isn't. Or, if it is, it's not a funny one. This is a very strange goose; the film has a comedy pedigree second to none, the director's previous films with Coogan, A Cock and Bull Story and Twenty Four Hour Party People are both nicely pitched comedy dramas that exploit Coogan's distinctive charm to their own ends. His TV show, The Trip, also starring Coogan was actually perfect, knowing exactly what it wanted to achieve and effortlessly succeeding. But The Look of Love is strangely passionless, a film not quite sure either what it wants to do or what it wants to say.
