My husband thought Vanessa Redgrave was wonderful in that role as well. I wasn't impressed with the others -- except for one scene, which is my favourite in the movie (next to Victor tasting the cheese), in which Claire brushes Sophie's hair.
And yes -- the movie was totally predictable, but I was okay with that. It wasn't brilliant; there are romantic comedies which are much better *written* and acted overall, but... I thought the whole was a lot better than the sum of the parts in this case.
