Summary: Not usually a Gwyneth fan, but...
Review: I had low expectations for this movie even though friends highly recommended it. But after finally stumbling in to see it I was pleasantly surprised. John Hannah is so disarmingly charming as James Hamilton, the preferable what-if alternative to the two-timimg boyfriend played by John Lynch. Paltrow, who seems to be forever playing the same character in all her movies, fits in perfectly as Helen. Be forewarned that a heavy dose of suspension of disbelief is necessary. All in all the movie is worthwhile and enjoyable (despite some ham-handed performances, attn. Jeanne Tripplehorn)- a testament to how a split-second move can, plausibly, change your destiny.

Summary: Gwyneth Paltrow yet again does another excellent job.
Review: This is a touching drama starring Gwyneth Paltrow as yet another Helen, who catches a train, one time she does and one time she doesn't - so she doesn't know the same person is controlling two lives! Sounds confusing, huh? But this still is a romantic, sad, dramatic film that the whole family can't miss. John Hannah also does an excellent acting job as Helen's new love interest.

Summary: Funny, intellegent and just plain fun to watch!
Review: This movie is very original. There is a point in this movie where it splits, and the wonderful Gwyneth Paltrow's life takes different routes. Thank God for her change of hair color! It would've been VERY confusing if she'd looked EXACTLY the same throughout the whole thing... It's very good. Very interesting and worth your time and money.

Summary: A watchable movie with an interesting idea.
Review: This was a pretty decent movie. It wasn't as confusing as I thought it would be really. The acting by all was quite good and the plot was actually a breath of fresh air compared to a lot of recent movies that I've seen. It seemed a little long in length, but that wasn't a minus against it. If you're a fan of this movie and would like to view another film that is similar, watch Run Lola Run (another film worthy of a viewing). Sliding Doors was good.

Summary: adored John Hannah
Review: I was expecting a click-flick, but the two-track format kept it interesting without becoming a gimmick, and Gwynneth's hair cleverly saved it from utter confusion. I myself just totally fell in love with sweet and charming John Hannah. Gives hope for the rest of us nice but ordinary-looking blokes!

Summary: One of my All-Time Faves!
Review: This movie always puts a smile on my face. It may not be the most complex storyline, or have amazing special effects. But this movie is still special. This is my "Having a Bad Day" movie. I put it on, and it never fails to put a smile on my face. Even with the opening song, it's just a fun, kick-back and enjoy-the-show movie. Gwyneth Paltrow is my favorite contemporary actress, and she does a superb job in this film. Her English accent is wonderful and fun to listen to, and the comic timing of Gwyneth and John Hannah are amazing, as well as the rest of the cast. This is the movie to watch if you're feeling down and need a fun pick-me-up. It takes your mind of of things, and for a good 2 hours, you just enjoy!

Summary: Of all the dumb movies...
Review: Good grief. No offense meant to any parties involved in this movie but quite honestly I could not stand it. My best friend watched it while in labor with her first baby, and thus the only reason I gave this movie the measly one star is because it helped her get her mind off of the pain. Otherwise I would say do not even bother with it. It sickens me that people must see other people's messed up lives in order to call it a romance. The story is miserable (i.e. the circumstances in which we supposedly must have to see the parallel lives), I have seen better acting done by second graders, and overall the whole plot is miserable. God forbid we should have something happy in a romance movie. After all, what would a romance be without lies, unfaithfulness and pain? If that is your idea of a great romance, then go for it and waste your money. Otherwise if you must see it, rent it and save some money for a better movie.

Summary: Interesting Concept, fulfilling development
Review: This movie must've started with someone wonderng "What if?" as we've all done. From there, it keeps viewers interested by turning into a double feature of sorts, What if Helen catches the train? What is she doesn't catch the train? I was first interested in this movie because of the interesting premise, but it more than delivered. A very satisfying movie, and very entertaining, I recommend it highly!

Summary: Will not work on a Powerbook DVD drive.
Review: With over a hundred reviews on why this movie is great, I won't belabour the point, except to say that Gwyneth Paltrow's performance in this movie should have won the Oscar for her that year, not S. in Love. I will, however, warn people out there that this DVD will not play on a Powerbook DVD drive. I have tried various remedies that the Amazon tech suggested, as well as a different disc. I had no luck. Why are movie studioes releasing DVDs labelled for Region 1 play that are not compatible with all players in that region? The Amazon tech said that there were problems with other players...Panasonic and a couple of others. Lets get this fixed... Paramount seems to be a frequent culprit.
