Looks good, but very uneven

Rating: 2/10 (27 March 2004)

Tom and Penelope look good, the movie looks very nice (cinematographer John Toll shot Legends of the Fall, Last
Samurai), and the film is in some aspects mind bending. It's also
wildly uneven, pushed to the point of confusion, almost
pointlessness.
I won't recant the plot, you can find enough info of that on your own,
but I will say these things without spoiling it. If you watch this film,
you're going to have to suspend some belief, and just let it wash
over you. Also be prepared for a lot of MTV interludes, where the
actors in an emotional moment, and right up front on the
soundtrack pops a classic rock song right over everything else. I
found this extremely detracting, but with warning, perhaps you may
not.
All in all, a nice looking, but uneven film.
