Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Gordon-11 This film is about a con woman whose life is complicated by the appearance of an obsessive librarian.I had great expectations when the initial animation was showing. Could it be a film like "Lola Rennt"? Well, no. The plot could have been promising, but the way it is told makes the film not too gripping. It gets boring at times, because of the slow pace. Fortunately, the film is made up for by the tension between Christina Ricci and John Simm. John Simm's portrayal of an innocent man who becomes obsessive about Christina Ricci is remarkable. Christina Ricci is also great in her portrayals of a cold and passionless con woman, a manipulative woman and vulnerable victim at the end. In short, it is a little slow but still watchable.

whoo youhoo The leading man, so vulnerable yet, adorable. CR, so dark and full of secrets is seductive yet vulnerable in her own protected way. My favorite part is when they are on the sofa, and she jumps up after being asked a question that she doesn't like, then settles to "Let's just enjoy ourselves..." then the leading mans eyes become scared\hurt and full of love and he says..."Don't leave me"...with such a childlike innocence...haunting. You can tell he can hardly believe she even knows he is alive, and she can't believe he made her feel so alive... Definitely a great flick. I am into the Offbeat movies, which CR definitely fills. Her dark elf like beauty, so secretive...the innocent clumsy librarian, who has never lived enough to develop any secrets...Grab a cocktail and enjoy.. Anna

pantagruella This is an excellent film if you enjoy watching Christina Ricci walking and talking. She does these things very well and she looks very much like Wednesday Addams would look if she Wednesday had grown up. At one point Christina has her hair pulled back very severely.John Simm is engaging and is inclined to treat Christina Ricci the way she should be treated if she ever came to Leeds. John is also making his mark in the Life of Mars TV series.It's a romantic thriller and I'd guess the plot is not very original. It moves through some sordid aspects of modern life but doesn't wallow in them. John Hurt and Kyle McLachlan are suitably repellent.A good film too for fans of Green Wing.

VictoriousDust I loved this movie for a few reasons, but mainly because of John Simm. Please do more movies, John! He plays the librarian, Frank, who has to be the sweetest hetero male I have ever seen. He melts your heart. He is teamed with some real pros in Christina Ricci, Kyle MacLachlan, and John Hurt. And the actor with the funny name who plays Frank's friend is a joy to watch, too. This is good popcorn, escapist fun with its central sweet love story and quirky characters and an outrageous con. John Simm has done a lot of British TV--those lucky blokes. As for other movies, I loved the magic between Christina Ricci and Johnny Depp in "The Man Who Cried," a more serious, but very good movie.
