He is lovely on chat shows and very, very funny -- and the chat shows show he's really quite bright.

I’ve never paid much attention to Hugh Grant. Thought he was a lightweight and that his real passion was being a playboy. But, gosh, what a performance in “Florence Foster Jenkins.” He’s redefined himself with it, much as Matthew McConaughey did a couple years ago in a series of memorable performances. -Jjoe baltakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11467420961490314339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18439960.post-45463888993635864852016-08-18T11:59:17.986-04:002016-08-18T11:59:17.986-04:00YOIKS! and I have to ask you . . .

As for the film, as an opera lover, I found it painful to listen to her singing.
