I love this film. The characters are simple but believable and you really want to laugh at how they keep meeting disaster after disaster and still bumble through. The story gradually unfolds and changes and, although it may keep you guessing the first time, I've watched it over and over and still enjoy every minute. Brad Pitt is adorable and funny. It's great that he doesn't take himself at all seriously. Julia Roberts is great and the chemistry between her and James Gandolfini is brilliant.
