Edited, the movie is good.

Rating: 1/10 (9 May 2004)

Fortunately, I have only seen the edited version of this. I paid to have all the gratuitous sex cut out of it, which lopped off 40 minutes! The movie stood by itself very well without all the garbage. From people I know who have seen it unedited, it is not the sweet movie which I saw.
The movie shows parallel love stories of different couples. Some end up happily, but some do not. The part we liked best was Colin Firth and his Portuguese girlfriend.
I do not recommend this movie in its natural state. No, I haven't seen it that way, but I won't recommend movies with smut for smut's sake. On the other hand, without all that, the movie was quite pleasant.
