oh boy

Rating: 1/10 (18 October 2000)

As much admiration as I have for david Snouffers well written appraisal for this movie, I thought it was with "The Jackal" the worst movie I had seen in years. There is a point where predictable well-manufactured emotional plot-twists kill any kind of compassion because all of a sudden it hits you: You are being toyed with by a well-working romance machine and every character is a caricature of themselves (or simply jumped out of "4 weddings and a funeral" into this one...), none of this would ever happen, none of it feels real, and most importantly: nobody cares anyway, because he is such a wimp and she such an annoying primadonna. Julia Roberts is decent as always in her performance as Anna Scott and that just about sums up everything positive I have to say about this tremendous bore and insult on any critical mind.
