Patrick,I think of Hugh Grant as a kind of English Jimmy Stewart- the self-effacing but game "everyman" thrown into unusual situations from which he dramatically emerges victorious- but exactly the same person.
And thats' the problem- he and his characters have almost no range of development.
Still, in the right role he can be quite enjoyable such as- "The Englishman Who went up a Hill and came down a Mountain." A quiet and charming movie as usual, as usual.
I have a similar problem with the previous English Jimmy Stewart- Jeremy Irons- always the same person from beginning to end and in every film.
As you say VERY English.
Where is the modern Charles Laughton when we need him?
Cheers,
