Nude Celebs: Kelly Macdonald - This 2005 romantic comedy sneaks in a serious political message, and does it in a pretty cool way.
A middle-aged British civil servant meets a young woman in a cafe, and finds himself drawn to her. Both unattached, their improbable friendship eventually starts to blossom into something more, although each knows little about the other.
When the young woman accompanies the man to the G8 Summit in Reykjavik, Iceland, their romance blooms, but to his surprise, so does her activism, as she turns out to be someone very concerned with issues like world hunger. She has no qualms about making her concerns known to one and all, much to the consternation of the civil servant.
A really well done movie, with characters that are extremely likeable and charismatic. Bill Nighy and Kelly Macdonald are outstanding as the couple. A very enjoyable flick with a very serious message.
