Hugh Grant: A Life on Screen, review: so charming, this retrospective was impossible to resist

The Telegraph  

Hugh Grant: A Life on Screen was actually annoyingly good. This Bafta-made retrospective rummaged through the archives to trace Grant’s career, including an in-depth interview with the award-winning thesp himself. The documentary was replete with delicious clips, both from his Richard Curtis romcom era – Four Weddings, Notting Hill, Bridget Jones’s Diary, Love Actually – and recent TV hit A Very English Scandal. You sent me a good script.” His former Hollywood co-stars Andie MacDowell and Sandra Bullock palpably adored the crinkly-eyed cad. He called himself “a pretentious Oxbridge ponce” with a “big ego” which “needs stroking”, dismissed his romcom persona as “Mr Oh-Gosh-I-Love-You” and admitted he often “played the same part”.
