The story of two couples who get involved with each other's partners.

Rating: 3/10 (18 October 2005)

The movie was honest and a nice change from the usual Hollywood junk, but I was very turned off by the excessive amount of explicit language. I know that the storyline and the characters' nature demanded a certain amount of explicit language. However, there was so much of the explicit language that I began to find it gratuitous. At some points in the film it seemed like the dialog was coming straight out of a sixth-grade boy's juvenile imagination. I thought Clive Owen, Julie Roberts, Natalie Portman and Jude Law all gave outstanding performances--especially Natalie. Overall, though, I was disappointed--the movie could have been so much greater. I was really looking forward to a meaty film made for a thinking adult and the dialog really let me down.
