good movie not the best

I´m normally not into this kind of film but I really liked this one :) Kidman did a great job here, def. worth watching!! I totally agree with allanpg1´s comments ^^.

Had a good story although it ran slow and shallow in many parts of the movie. Slow is not bad if it's deep and shallow is not bad if it's fast. But slow and shallow never works. Now that's deep! 2/5.

good movie with good storyline.

This is a good example a film that in spite of the low rating is more than worth watching. The story is engaging and it doesn't take long before the chemistry between Nicole Kidman and Ben Chaplin grabs your attention. The acting is first class and the characters are represented well. Sometimes it feels like the director couldn't decide himself between drama and romantic comedy. Ben Chiller's portrayal of the law abiding and shy Englishman with porn S.M. magazines hidden in the bedroom creates plenty of moments for laughs! As does the look in Nicole Kidman's eyes when she is offering John his first taste of intimacy in a long time... Other times the actors and especially Nicole Kidman give this comedy quite expertly a dramatic slant.
