Love and madness are slowly intertwined...

Rating: 7/10 (8 March 2007)

Let's see.
The first time I've watched this movie, I felt disgusted. The dialog was poor, Julia Roberts wasn't good on that role. Jude Law was inexpressive. And, ON THE TOP OF FOOD-CHAIN... The scene that Julia and Owen had a couple fight was THE WORSE ever made. But, seeing the Reviews on IMDb, I read a phrase very intriguing... The phrase was almost like that: "Even love isn't pretty from this up-close.". That phrase changed my mind. So, I decided to watch again. And I saw a outstanding romance/drama movie. I saw me there... I think everyone who have watched this movie saw themselves there.
Anna (Julia Roberts) is a self-destructive woman, who simply can't accept love or happiness. Yes, people like her are real.
Alice (Natalie Portman) is a tough, cold but romantic girl. But the problem is that... to her, the love ALWAYS ends, and than... she run away, starting all over again, and again.
Dan (Jude Law) is a loveless man. He can't decide which one he will love, because he suffers from a terrible absence of love.
Larry (Clive Owen) represents the most common love form. He Really loved Anna, and did all for her. He even made the classic mistake of a cheated man.
The characters are brilliant, and the cast was a good choice. You will love this movie, believe me. And by the way, the scene of Julia and Clive couple's fight still pathetic. But still, the rest of the movie will reward you. That's it! Rent and fell it.
