Summary: One of best and most imaginative movies seen in a long time.
Review: Though panned by movie critics, this was the best movie I had seen in a long time. The imaginative and creative storyline was easy to follow. The characters were well cast, believable and you were rooting for the heroine and hero or booing the other characters. Not to give the ending away, it was the perfect way to end this excellent movie. If you didn't have a chance to see it when it was on the big screen, definitely make an effort to rent it. If you don't end up buying it for your video collection, I'll be surprised.

Summary: The best film i've ever seen!
Review: Sliding Doors was the best film i've ever seen. At 15 years old, many people might say that i have not had the chance to see a lot of film's. Believe me they are wrong. I first saw Sliding Doors last year with my friends we all loved it, the next day I went straight out to buy the soundtrack, Ever since I have been looking for posters, post cards, anything with Sliding Doors on it. Sliding Doors is defently no. 1 on my christmas list this year!

Summary: Double the Fun
Review: I adore this charming little gem of a movie in so many ways that I can't even begin to count all the ways. I liked this movie so much that I didn't even mind Gwyneth Paltrow's sometimes annoying faux-British accent.I have a "thang" for parallel universes, multi-dimensions, doppelgangers, and all that meta and non-meta physics stuff that my wee brain finds too complex to grasp yet I understood it just fine in this flick. It did help that the filmmakers created a different look for both Gwyneths - so much easier to tell them apart and keep up with the story line. Gwyneth the Dark doesn't realize that her lazy scoundrel of a boyfriend is fooling around on her, so she slaves away trying to keep him in comfort so he can write his great imaginary novel. Gwyneth the Fair, on the other hand, discovers the rat in the pudding earlier on so she starts a new life, finds Mr. Right, a fabulous career, and a stylish new 'do to boot. Well, I won't tell you the ultimate fates of this two ladies except to say one is happy and one is sad. Surprise, surprise! I highly recommend this to anyone who favors a bit of a twist in their movie romances and for those who do not like being confused.

Summary: Fate- like never seen before.
Review: Have you ever had one of those days when you find yourself thinking "if only I caught that bloody train, none of this would have happened"? Well in this beautiful romantic comedy starring Gwenyth Paltrow and John Hanna, that simple question is the primary focus of the story. When Helen, played by Gwenyth Paltrow, misses the train going home her life takes an amazing change in course by showing her life as it would have happened if she caught the train. Athough it sounds confusing in text, the movie clearly presents Helen's destiny one two seperate diverged roads. The symbolism of Helen's two new characters signify how singular events can permanently alter your life forever. John Hanna plays James, the nicer of Helen's boyfriends. Although he is the typical flat male charachter in romantic movies, the viewer never seems to tire of his "cheesiness." He cheers Helen up by quoting Monty Python, "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquistion." This also is significant towards the movie's story since it focuses on how nobody can truly expect how their life can change in a split second. Since I don't want to give away the ending I can only tell you that it, in my opinion it symbolizes fate better than I have ever seen before. This movie brilliantly shows us the meaning of life, fate, destiny, and love. I would reccomend it especially for those who seem to feel like life is not going their way or if only things went a little differently everything would be different. I would especially recommend it for anyone who appreciates British humor.

Summary: Good, Bad, Good, Bad, Good Bad ending
Review: The concept of the movie alone is worth watching the movie. How do lives change when you just miss those sliding doors of the subway?
In this movie both options are followed in the life of an excellent Gwyneth Paltrow. The first one she stays with her cheating boyfriend, in the other she doesn't. This goes on for most of the movie. In the end there are some interesting twists. The concept and acting are great, but maybe it could have been a little better worked out. It also looks more like a tv-movie instead of a feature movie, which can be seen in the lighting.

Summary: Not your average chick-flick romance movie
Review: It's a little confusing now and then, sometimes hard to keep track of the two parallel scenarios that form the unique and ambitious framework for this, um, I guess you'd have to call it a romance. Here's the deal: Gwyneth Paltrow experiences 2 possible outcomes as a result of her attempt to catch a train (the Tube; it's London) home. In one, she catches the train, arrives home hours early, and discovers her live-in boyfriend in bed with another woman. In the 2nd scenario, she misses the train, arrives home a bit later, and finds her boyfriend in the shower but a few things are awry that arouse her suspicion.
Really promising idea, and the film carries them both all the way to the conclusion and manages to meld them nicely at the end.
The only glitch - well, there were 2, actually - for me was that I had trouble visualizing Paltrow's character seriously falling for the total schmuck/cad/cheating boyfriend and being so undone when the romance faltered. And the other was about an accident scene that occurs very close to the end. It was all filmed so quickly with the 2 scenes occurring simultaneously that just 10 minutes after the film ended, I couldn't remember exactly what had happened in which version.
However, that's minor. It's definitely worth watching. I just hope Paltrow gains about 5-10 pounds pretty soon, tho, cuz her ridged and bony chest is just too anorexic-like to look at without cringing.

Summary: A movie worth watching!
Review: Definitely a WONDERFUL movie, Sliding Doors, brings to the screen two parallel stories unfolding simultaneously involving an English girl living and working in London.
The movie opens a window into other possibilities and "what ifs". It is a film about human relations, friendship, trust, love, and inner strength.
Gwyneth Paltrow (who is GORGEOUS), John Hannah, and the rest of the cast give it their 100% themselves with their performances, which are outstanding to say the least (the chemistry is AMAZING)!
The only negative point is Gwyneth Paltrow's British accent, which surprisingly, is not convincing at all!
Sliding Doors does a great job of describing people's every day lives and the problems they face. Very well written and very well presented, the movie is without a doubt guaranteed to provide an evening's entertainment. It is a movie worth watching!

Summary: genuine and charming romantic comedy
Review: If you like serendipidy this movie is along the same lines. It is a romantic comedy about fate and how if you do just one thing differently it may change your whole path. However, what is meant to be will still happen in the end. I thought this would be more of a chick flick but I watched it with some guy friends and they thought it was hilarous and sweet too! So give it a try!

Summary: The difference between making and missing a train
Review: Sometimes life can be altered by simply catching a train. The opening scenes are quite captivating. Making the train, Gwyneth Pathrow's character catches her boyfriend cheating. Missing, the cheating game continues.
The movie is a little slow in spots. Some of the shifting between the making train world and missing train world can grow a bit wearisome. And the cheating boyfriend is just a hateful character. Nonetheless, the subject matter does have some intrigue about how life can change by sliding through a door.
