Summary: YOU HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE...
Review: Another completely contrived and silly British film along the lines of Sliding Doors. What if you had done something differently? In this case, a man in a long-term relationship is having an affair with a co-worker in the theatre where he is an actor. He decides he is going to leave his girlfriend for the actress, so when the girlfriend confronts him about his affair, he says, yes he did have the affair. She is devastated and leaves him. He ends up alone, and his now ex-girlfriend meets a new man at her gym, and they are about to get married. He tries to stop her, but fails. He meets some strange men who put him back to the day when he decided to tell the girlfriend about the affair to see if he could change things if he did everything differently. He decides not to tell her about the affair and puts an end to the affair and starts to change his life. As it turns out, she still meets the man at the gym and she has an affair with him before finally leaving the boyfriend for the guy at the gym. So the actor is left alone again, but he meets a girl (Penelope Cruz) and suddenly realises that he has really found the right woman for him. And his life changes dramatically. He gets a part on a television show, wins rave reviews, and has an outstanding love life. But Cruz is not satisfied because it still seems to her that he is holding back, still hung up on the ex girlfriend. Eventually the ex girlfriend calls him and wants to try to get back together again, but by this time he realises that Cruz is the one for him. Really just a contrived story. Nothing worth seeing because chances are you have seen it all before, done better.

Review: I am a secret admirer of British Romantic Comedy because it is so much less sappy than the american hollywood dish and the stories seem to be much wittier. Case in point would be a lovely movie like Twice Upon a Yesterday where the character roles are very strong and the story is an intriguing twist upon a tried and true love plot. I enjoy the fact that this is not a love story about enemies and resulting vengeance, neglect, sadness, or hate -- but really about love, friendship, caring, and understanding. And good people shine: Penelope Cruz is all sweetness.

Summary: A Great Movie!
Review: I got rented this video, not knowing what it was about, because there was nothing left that night. I turned it on and thought it was going to be dumb because I'm not much into English humor. But this was really a good movie. It's a lot like Sliding Doors, so if you liked that, you'll love this one. You do have to pay attention because the accents can be thick at times, but it was a good idea for a movie. Very entertaining. I've recommended it to all my friends.

Review: I've always liked foreign films, and this is definitly no exception. A lot of people are comparing it to "sliding doors" and although this film is similar in topic, this one is much better. It's funnier and has a different twist to it. And, needless to say, Gwyenth is NOT in this film.

Review: This is an excellent romantic comedy about being able to go back in time and change the mistakes made in a previous relationship. It is extremely funny in places but at other times very sad. It stars that wonderful British actor Douglas Henshall(Angels and Insects) who plays the main character of Victor Bukowski. He is desperate to stop his ex girlfriend Sylvia from marrying another man. He is given a chance to go back in time change the mistakes he made in their relationship, but it doesn't quite work out as planned.

Summary: How I accidentally tripped over and fell (for a film!)
Review: This was a movie, had it been listed in a tv-guide sort of thing, I wouldn't have watched. Flipping through all the HBO channels one dreary afternoon, and happened across "Twice Upon A Yesterday." For the most part, foreign films have never really interested me. But I thought I'd give this one a chance, as I had nothing else to do that day. Much to my delight, this unhearalded film was really quite good. I'd barely heard of Penelope Cruz, and wasn't at all familiar with the rest of the cast and crew. But I found the movie struck some cords, some sweet, some bittersweet, but overall an excellent balance of both. I found I could relate to the characters as they were portrayed, and it required little suspension of belief on my part. I was entranced with/by this movie. It's one of the better movies I've seen in a long time (this coming from a well-jaded amateur movie critic). It managed to be an entertaining comment on life without being too preachy. For this genre of movie, I would recommend without reservation!

Review: This whole movie is good. It's not often you can sit through a movie and not get a least a little bored, but this one keeps you interested. The main character, Vincent, gets a chance to go back in time and fix a relationship he messed up with the woman he thought was his soulmate. Things change for him, but sometimes we find that GETTING the desires of our heart are worse than NOT getting them. Penelope Cruz is great in this film, and she's so sweet that you can understand how easy it would be to fall for her. Definitely a good date movie.
