Sleeping Fictionary - The Sleeping Dictionary review by CP Customer
This was trite, tedious and terrible. Got switched off after about 10 mins.

Entertaining - The Sleeping Dictionary review by CP Customer
My Hubby and I both enjoyed this movie. It had historical interest, romance, humour and visually worth watching. Predictable in places, but Jessica Alba, Bob Hoskins and Brenda Blethyn made it well worth watching.
