MCT:September 27, 2008I love Diane Kruger. She is so beautiful and talented. Josh Hartnett is so hot!! This movie was fantastic. The plot is incredible and the acting was so compelling. Beautiful ending.

MCT:September 21, 2008Wicker Park was a movie that I found very hedonic. Something invariably true about my personality, is I am always looking for a good thrill. I find mysteries and suspense entertaining. This movie's Single White Female mannerisms, is no doubt one of the reasons I found it amusing.
I thought Rose Byrne was very good at inveigling the audience in this film. Of course, I loved her performance in Troy, as well. She made the character of Alex very intriguing and slightly grim. I find Josh Hartnett to be exceedingly easy on the eyes. This film got bonus points for casting him as Matthew. Diane Kruger is a stunning beauty. The chemistry the two shared in this film was both heated and convincing.
I am a sucker for a love story. I think that is another reason I enjoyed this film. Wicker Park is definitely a thumbs up in my opinion. Everyone takes pleasure in a good plot twist, right? Millions of writers feed off that human addiction. -
MCT:September 5, 2008Very creative and very well written. the tear-jerking song at the end served as the perfect cherry to this amazing movie.

For me, this is oen fot hose movies where you watch it and you say "wow, that was predicatble, and not very good" but you wind up watching it over and over again and loving every second of it. My mother and I got really obsessed with thsi movie when we saw it, and that obsession has not come to pass. Diane Kruger is amazingly beautiful and powerful in her delicacy. And Mathew Lillard is always a pleasure. "I am not what I am" was the best quote of the movie, and it happened to belong to shakespeare. The score was actually amazing, and there was something quite cute about it all. The double-standard is easily over-looked when you realize how much mathew and Lucy were in love. The dialogue was fantastic and the friendship between Matt and luke was very believable and strong. there were soem great things about this movie. For sure.

Strange and a bit boring in the beginning but what a movie it turned out to be. Brilliant script, fine acting from especially Rose Byrne and a very good soundtrack. I like the moral in the story and how everything turned out. Perfect ending scene as well. If you liked this you should see Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, thats actually a bit sharper, especially in the beginning, than Wicker Park.

It could be true. It might have even been. It may look like Closer, but its about love. Its about real love. Closer is clear about relationships, and involves sex everywhere. Wicker Park is a love story, a true one. Wicker Park is three, if not four, love stories.
And with me being a big fan of Josh Hartnett...well, you know :). -
MCT:August 8, 2008An interesting play with editing and screenplay. I also love movies in which the supporting character is in fact the protagonist.
-
MCT:June 25, 2008Actually found it watchable even though the ad campaign for it made it look to be one of the worst movies ever. I'd recommend it only if you're too lazy to grab the remote to find something as equally inane.

A dramatic story of jealousy, lies and intrigue. In places quite difficult to follow due to the flashbacks which never quite tell the whole story.
However a story that anybody who has ever suffered a bout of jealousy will no doubt understand. -

Love to see my own hometown in movies!
The water tower, O'Hare air port!

Saw it a while ago. I remember finding it weird and hard to follow, but I was younger then, and I wouldn't mind re-seeing. I'm not a big Hartnett fan though.

Awkward, confusing, "jumpy" (it goes back and forth between now and then all the time, without telling you) to begin with, then slowly got better as things began to make sense.

Very interesting with a lot of pieces that in the end transform to one jigsaw complete. I really like this kind of film.

I am really confused with this, its going back and forth and like people swapping ID's, towards the end I kind of get it, but would need to watch this again to get the full just of the story.

This movie was very well written. I really enjoyed the cinemagraphics and soundtrack/score. It all blended well to give you this very confusing story about trying to find a lost love who was thought-of to exist, but wasn't clear. After the plot stops twisting and turning it all makes perfect sense. It's very romantic, though I felt sorry for Hartnett's fiancee in this movie; but then again Kruger's character came first. Anyways anyone looking for a great date-movie... have no fear, this is a great one

Plot: No, Josh Hartnett doesn't make the most convincing corporate up-and-comer in the world, but then Matthew, his character in this pensive romantic drama, is supposed to be uncomfortable in his business ...( read more )costume. He's a photographer at heart, a sensitive guy who abandoned that passion when Lisa (Diane Kruger), his enigmatic other true love, abandoned him. Their romance had an oddly abrupt end after Lisa left without a word, so when Matthew thinks he sees her upon returning to Chicago, he starts lying to his fiancée and practically stalking his old flame before becoming entangled in a strange tryst with a lovesick nurse (Rose Byrne). The MGM publicity department busied itself trying to promote this remake of L'Appartement (1996) as some kind of heavy-breathing Fatal Attraction, and director Paul McGuigan certainly fills it with enough slick split-screens and MTV-soundtrack moments to hype it, yet it isn't even remotely a thriller. There are flashbacks upon flashbacks--Vanilla Sky begins to feel linear in comparison--and the screenplay insists on spelling everything out so we'll be sure to get how thoughtful it really is, but it all isn't half bad. Though Hartnett is a little out of his depth, his gentle, beleaguered masculinity works well, and the women are both compelling: Kruger redeems herself after being more wooden than the Trojan Horse in Troy, and Byrne is quite good. Even Matthew Lillard does solid work as Matthew's vulnerable, big-talking buddy. Somewhere in all of it is a surprisingly adult look at the things people do when love seems either too perilously close or too far away to believe in. --Steve Wiecking

Wicker Park... ah..
So confusing, twisty, well done, and sad.
The first 40 minutes or so was very confusing, which gave it an awesome touch.. Man, that Alex girl was such a bitch. I think Matt was an asshole for dumping his soon to be wife. But, other than that it was a very interesting movie, it twas a bit tooooooooooo confusing though. Its like Dejavu all over again for the movie. The end was so freaking sad, but it was a good ending. A Bit to twisty for me though. Then again, Josh Hartnett's acting was beauteously remarkable. How can Matt be such a tracker? Man, an emotional movie for sure. Not to much of a thrill ride, but it was scarily edgey, a great movie. How one would do to love... ahh, great movie. I love it. -

The most intriguing aspect of this film is the plot. It is so ubelievably unpredictable and clever, this is why this is one of my top films. Otherwise this film is neither outstanding or poor ineveitably it is just an enjoyable to watch the plot unravel.

MCT:February 4, 2008Would have been better as a comedy with the two creeper characters realizing they were made for each other in the end.
