Warning: This article contains mild spoilers for Rye Lane.<\/strong><\/p>\n South London-set romcom Rye Lane received rave reviews after its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival earlier in the year \u2013 and now it arrives in UK cinemas this weekend.<\/p>\n The film follows recently single 20-somethings Yas and Dom as they spend a day together following an unorthodox meet-cute in a gallery toilet, with Vivian Oparah and Industry<\/a>\u2018s David Jonsson starring in the lead roles.<\/p>\n Throughout an extremely eventful day, the pair discuss their bad breakups and happen across all manner of strange sights and larger-than-life characters \u2013 including a very brief run-in with a Hollywood A-lister and modern icon of British cinema.<\/p> The A-lister in question is none other than Colin Firth, who appears as a food server at a Mexican food stall appropriately called Love Guac\u2019tually \u2013 and speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com<\/a>, director Raine Allen-Miller explained just how the cameo appearance came about.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve got a funny story about Love Guac\u2019tually,\u201d she said. \u201cI decided I really want to do this thing where we have a shop that\u2019s called like, About a Burrito or something. I said it to my partner, and I was like, it has to have somebody like You Know Who in there. And my partner just suddenly came out and went, \u2018What about Love Guac\u2019tually?\u2019 And I was like, \u2018Oh my god.\u2019 And it was like the best thing ever.\u201d<\/p>\n She added: \u201cI always wanted to do like a cheeky wink to those other films that are set in London and are romantic, but they are definitely nothing like this film. I kind of felt like, it\u2019s gonna be compared\u2026 like people are going to ask me questions about it. Let\u2019s embrace that and just do a little wink, you know, a cheeky wink and friendly middle finger!\u201d<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n
