I'm Just Not Big Enough To Forgive You... Buster.

Rating: 8/10 (11 March 2005)

having watched this movie in two separate sittings, it can easily be called a two-parter film. an emotional roller-coaster from boy meets girl with dreams love movie to twisted scheming adultery sex fest. Its definitely something new quite a new turn for some of the actors in the movie like Natalie Portman
The characters, while only four each perform vividly in their roles. Natalie (Alice) plays an aspiring American stripper who meets Jude Law (Dan) on her tour around London. Dan plays is a writer who uses Alice as inspiration to his book. the book is then read by Julia Roberts (Anna) who also falls in love with him. The final character Clive Owen (Larry), a perverted doctor, is thrown in by Dan on an anonymous fake internet date, setup by Dan in attempt to get back at Anna for not wanting an affair with him. Seems like your typical love story romance right? the one where it all works out in end and everyone finds the right person. Exactly huh? Not quite, as we find out. There's more to the picture than the character lead on to be.
not unlike Larry in the movie, my original intention in seeing this movie was as the previews showed, Natalie Portman As A Stripper! Can't miss seeing Star Wars's Queen Amadala in the buff, of course. When friends told me about this, their reaction was nothing like i had suspected. One of my friends said she nearly wanted to kill herself, another said she would never again watch it, that it was extremely difficult to watch. Had they seen the first half and walked out for some reason they'd go home with the warm happy feeling that all things will turn out and we'll get the cinema romance we paid to watch. Don't get me wrong, it is definitely worth seeing but the twists midway through this movie make this stand out as very Very different from a lot of other movies.
Its controversial, daring, and very different from a lot of other romance movies ever made. Cruel Intentions also has similar characters but none well-defined as the ones in Closer. The movie is definitely for adults and it worth seeing as a date movie. Very different, but also very good.
