An unusual and interesting premise, a cliché-ridden & dull film.

Rating: 3/10 (7 March 2005)

This film, based loosely on a true story of a man stuck in Charles de Galles airport is a real stinker. The sad part is that it could have been ... should have been good.
It's a fabulously quirky scenario, which could have been built into a Groundhog Day-esque story, if that is the way the writers wanted to go.
Sadly, the writers didn't know *which* way they wanted to go, and must take most of the responsibility.
The plot line fails to work coherently, and is poorly crafted, sometimes veering towards redemption movie, sometimes heading towards slapstick, but never (like the lead character) ever getting to any destination, I like cross-genre surprising films, but this film's only surprise is its lack of surprises . The characters are straight of out central casting. No cliché is left unturned.
A special mention must go to Catherine Zeta-Jones for a performance of mind-numbing shallowness. She's working with a poor script, but... really!
Still, the set design is excellent - so an extra star for that.
