If you don't like Gwynneth Paltrow, you shouldn't watch this movie anyway. If you like Gwynneth Paltrow, you probably will like the film. You will forgive her the annoying 110 per cent wannbe real British accent. You will forgive the film that it doesn't know what to do with the set-up, which - to be fair - is rather clever. It's another "what if" premise, only this time you see two different realities unfold at the same time and the audience watches two possible chain of events parallel. But the trouble is, the filmmakers don't know how to tie both stories together again, and eventually come up with a feeble solution. Another flaw of the film is, that it is inhabited by unlikable characters. Only John Hannah stands out as Paltrows new love interest - in one of the storylines. So do yourself a favour and watch him in FOUR WEDDINGS, and her in MR RIPLEY. You'll have a better time.
