Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Justina The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

nsnolan55 The guidelines of this website state that the minimum length for comments is 10 lines of text. My last three paragraphs is all I wanted to say. So here goes: Salma is one of my favorite actresses, she has great talent, while Russell Crowe is my least favorite actor next to Tom Cruise. I decided to watch the movie in spite of Crowe. I saw him on James Limpton and he was such a pompous ass, totally in love with himself. I've never understood why he's considered a great actor. He has, though, been in some good movies.What I did like about this movie (besides watching Salma) was the style and editing. I liked the way the director filmed the sex, the arguments, the trashing of the apartments and the black and white thing. Perhaps I would have enjoyed this movie if it hadn't reminded me of a couple of stupid relationships I had a million years ago.But the characters in this movie should just stick to having great sex and quit wasting time trying to communicate with each other in any other manner.They annoyed me so much I wanted to smack 'em! I am sorry I wasted my time watching this movie and I advise you not to waste yours.

MLDinTN What was the point of making this movie. I can't think of one. The movie stars two big name actors but all that happens is they break up get together break up get together.... We get some silly scenes such as Steve in the tub picturing Monica with a guy at the gym. It was obvious the two didn't belong together, so why should the audience care if they break up. That was part of the problem with it besides it just being a stupid idea for a movie.FINAL VERDICT: Not to good. Don't expect the Russell Crowe from Gladiator in this. I don't recommend it.

Stello I like Salma Hayek, I like Russell Crowe.. I had never heard of this movie until I noticed it on the TV guide, but seeing who were starring in it, I was expecting some entertainment.. How wrong was I!! :O It turned out to be really, Really bad! Forced dialogue all through the movie, plus I felt the director had been playing with as many different camera techniques as he could think of - ending up making a big mess of waste. Such disappointment.. The only potential bit was the scene where he was taking a bath, getting a mental image of the bodybuilder type she described on the phone.. But it wasn't funny enough to save the movie.This one's best avoided..

puck_claes What a fine and refreshing movie. But there is more to it than this. It is a well-made film about a very common and credible situation. It shows us both sides of an ending affair and makes you feel sympathy for each character. Only two players, Salma Hayek and Russell Crowe, to play the game and carry the story to the end. They do well.The story doesn't go on straight. There are twists in the presentation, cuttings, slow-motion - movie-stills, split-screens, showing off a lot of the pinches of film-making. None of this ever going heavy. It all just fits in, and I like it. Enjoy it. I will again.
