September 22, 2009I love it when people?s heads get hit by the tube doors. Unfortunately it didn't happen in this film! This kind of film has killed the British film industry!

May 22, 2009I liked it! It has a really interesting premise and things are not what they seem. Overall enjoyable and thoughtful.

Gwyneth Paltrow is engaging as the two Helens, and I have no complaints about her performance. Pity about the screenplay. full review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
Give the movie credit for being a different sort of romantic comedy, but still one has to regret the failure of imagination. full review

July 13, 2009Very surprising! The story is original and unpredictable. I liked it! But I don't think this was Gwyneth on her best..
