Looks can be deceiving!

Rating: Null/10 (12 July 2003)

I am a fan of Cameron Crowe's earlier works ("Almost Famous", "Jerry Maguire"), yet this movie was very complex and confusing.

Wealthy publisher David Aames (Tom Cruise) and Julie Gianni (Cameron Diaz), a 'f--- buddy', sleep together, which turns into a nightmare when she finds out he doesn't love her because he somewhat dumped her for shy, inhibited Sofia (Penelope Cruz). After a horrible accident involving Julie and David, strange things start to happen in his life that are out of control. David's once handsome face is disfigured and he sees Julie, who supposed to be dead, almost everywhere he turns. The ending is surprising yet predictable. A great attempt of Cameron Crowe's, but could have been better.
