Disappointing

Dreadful

Truly awful film - if it wasn't for Nicole Kidman and Robert Downey Jr I wouldn't have made it through the first 30 mins. The film never went anywhere... more

very watchable

a fairly intense movie but you find yourself drawn into it, and the actors are very good. A quirlky concept but on the whole a well worthwhile movie.

I was a bit worried about watching this film because of the 'beast man' and only did so because I'm a huge Nicole Kidman fan. She played her part ... more
