    Good sunday hangover viewing

    This film is exactly what you expect - it does not disappoint and it does not surprise. The performances are good - particularly Jimi Mistry. Watch it on a lazy sunday

    Exceedingly Miserable

    If your idea of a great film is to see Jennifer Love Hewitt in negligee then this is the one for you (And it is for some people but i'd suggest need to get a past time and stop pesting film stars in your head).

    I don't think I've seen a worse movie, even in the Rom-Com genre (not no. 1 on my list of fave genres) , this is simply the worst I've seen, I can't think of a single redeeming aspect to it.

    The plot is absurd, the acting is atrocious, really very bad. The voice dubbing is so crude it constantly distracted me. The foley work is of such a low standard at one point a punch is throw and the sound is clearly heard before we see any contact on screen. Scenes just sound unnatural. Some of the lines in the movie grate harder than a drain cover, lines know one would ever say.

    The court scenes are so unrealistic, I suspect for comedy value but it just makes you cringe. It's not even romantic, just embarrassing. Avoid wasting your allowance on this film.

    Hilarious

    Hilarious sex farce, a suspicious wife tests her husbands ability to keep it in his pants by becoming his ultamate fantasy 'anonymos'! However she is unaware he is not only cheating on her (with herself) but on his full-time mistress! many moments of side splitting laughs,definately a great movie with a nice bottle of wine.

    good escapism

    good acting (tho never have rated Mr Mistry) loved Dougray Scott - gorgeous in an understated role. Does make one wonder about the extent of infidelity tho.. Saucy in places, and funny, and sad. A good afternoon film.. for a girl.

    Time you will not get back

    Ok, set in the UK with some US 'stars', Thought that it may be ok. Unrealistic people, a top lawyer living in a shack, with a flat that he is selling where he used to live that his brother does not know the address of even though they are in touch daily (this is a huge part of the plot so it makes no sense). Depressing story. If this is realistic then I give up on relationships. The end, a 'happy' hollywood U turn that is totally not in keeping with the tone of the film at all - ring a bell?!

    Dissapointing

    Jennifer love hewitt dialogue is dubbed, the storyline is adequate but the movie doesn't get you caught up/involved as it should do.

    My recommendation : give it a miss.

    30 minutes of my life I will never have again ...

    30 minutes is all I could stand of this terrible movie. It wants to be sexy, funny and clever but all it is is embarrasing, cringe worthy and pants ...

    Don't do it!

    Worst movie ever seen!

    Both me and my husband both hated this film. I have seen Jennifer Love Hewitt in some good roles but her acting in this was cringe-worthy. He fellow actors weren't much better, the plot was awful and cheesy and there just wasn't one single good thing I could say about this film. A couple of hours of my life I wish I could get back!
