Rating: 10/10 (1 September 1999)

Too bad the NC17 controversy caused many people to miss an excellent movie. This is a movie about human emotions, not sex. The movie works well on two levels. First, showing Bill (Tom Cruise), trying to cope with the discovery that his wife once was willing to leave him for another man. Second, the movie compares and contrasts "the ideal," "the real," and "the worst possible result." At both levels, the viewer will feel he has had a very (please excuse this poor word-play) eye-opening experience.
