surprised by so many positive reviews

Rating: 3/10 (15 May 2006)

i actually started watching this movie on an airplane and had no intention of renting it...and when my husband brought it home...i had thought i was already halfway through the film...when in fact i only watched the first 20 minutes! the only saving grace was the performance by emily mortimer....i was shocked by jonathan rhys meyers acting...and i can only blame the director because i've seen some of his other films and really enjoyed his performances...he showed absolutely NO EMOTION and it was hard to imagine anyone falling for him...or even liking him....maybe that's why emily mortimer's character had to constantly repeat in the film "everbody likes you"....
if i'd seen the movie in a theater...i probably would have walked out midway...although i would have missed the best part....the ending!
