Critis saying "no chemistry" between Robert & Sophie is preposterous

Rating: 7/10 (26 May 2006)

A lot of the critics are saying there is "no chemistry" between Robert and Sophie. I disagree, their chemistry is fine for two people who just met and are running scared for their lives. The movie takes place in the time span of less than 24 hours - what are they supposed to do throw down and go at it? I think they share a tenderness appropriate for the circumstances under which they are in. I think the film was good and easy to watch - it's not as enjoyable as the book because there is a lot of information that needs to be disseminated and the viewer needs to absorb. When reading the book one can re-read something that seems confusing, but when watching the movie one does not have this opportunity - one has the take it in immediately and I can see where some viewers could get lost.
