    A vague chick-flick. Jessie has a husband and child, a mother with a secret who is cutting off her fingers, a father she thinks she killed and a love affair with a monk.

    The movie has some failings, but I would watch it again.

    Just okay, but what was up with Kim Basinger's hair?

    Une histoire d'amour entre une femme mariée et un moine, un interdit! Mais pourquoi une histoire bizarre de sirènes et un mystère sur son père qui fait perdre l'essentiel du film??

    You are made to believe the story is going to be way more exciting than it turns out to be.
