Open Mouth....

Rating: Null/10 (16 December 2004)

Attracted by the stars, I watched this film without any read up and totally expected something a lot different! Especially considering the involvement of Julia Roberts and Natalie Portman.
This is an alternative look at two couples seemingly in love. However after mild obsession leads Dan (Law) to cheat on Alice (Portman) with Anna (Roberts), things just spiral out of control. Anna initially hooks up with Larry (Owen), bizarrely thru Dan who poses as Anna acting like desperate nympho in a chat room! Comical but confusing!!
The eventual outcome leaves the viewer confused as to the point of the film.
Shock seems to be the main source, with a mass of sexual rants that leaves you even more confused as to what is going on!
Overall it is worth seeing. But mainly to see Roberts and Portman in such a different light! Natalie Portman is stunning in the film and shines and soars above all of her co-stars.
Confused about your relationship or fear you might be being taken for a mug by your partner?? Don't watch this! It will make you even more suspicious or drag up old war wounds between you both! 7/10
