Rating: Summary: We all wonder the What if's Review: Ok, I love this movie. I have had several moments in my life where I have wondered the what ifs. Well this movie proves that we can all take a turn, and we will never know how it will turn out. It could end up being the best or the worst thing we have ever done. I love Gwyneth and John (Hannah)... they had really good chemistry. I watch this movie at least once a month, it lifts my spirits and guys end up liking it too. Excellent movie!!!
Rating: Summary: for everyone who ever wondered "what if"? Review: Sliding Doors features Gwyneth Paltrow (again British) as Helen, a woman rushing home in the middle of the day after getting fired. In one scenario, she makes it through the sliding doors of the London tube in time to get home to catch her boyfriend cheating on her. In the other, she misses the train and doesn't find out. The rest of the movie shows what the two Helens (one conveniently gets a makeover in her post-firing life so we can tell them apart) do as a result --- the choices she makes, the friends she has, the confidence she gains or loses. It's an inspired concept and a well-acted film. It will make anyone, male or female, think back on "what if?" After all, haven't we all caught a plane/train/taxi to something important on the other end????
Rating: Summary: The answer to your question " what , IF...??? " Review: We always was wandering : what , could of happen , IF we would of turn right , not left . If we would of made this stupid phone call . If we would of miss that train... The truth is - we,ll never know . But may be , what happened - was meant to be .

Than was hit by the drunk driver few month later? Exellent film ! Gwyneth Paltrow prooved herself again .
Rating: Summary: An entertaining film Review: This is an interesting idea for a film, in that it shows two possible paths a young womans life could have taken, depending on whether or not she discovers her boyfriend's affair. Paltrow gives a convincing performance, especially during the direction her life took when she learns the truth about her boyfriend. She does produce a good English accent, but at times it sounds far too posh and 'put on'. I suppose only Brits will pick up on that! All in all this film is entertaining, different and interesting. But if you're a real fan of Gwyneth Paltrow, I recommend you buy Shakespeare in Love, that is really worth seeing.
Rating: Summary: Excellent film Review: This movie was one of the best movies that I have ever seen. The story line had never been done before, and it was amazing. It had my attention from the beginning to the end, and the end of the movie is wonderful. You don't expect it, and then it all makes sense. Highly recommended!!!!
Rating: Summary: Sweet little romantic comedy Review: This sweet-natured romantic comedy may be little else but it's got several key ingredients that make it definitely worth a look. The neat little story has Helen's life split in two, one where she catches the train and gets home to find her boyfriend having an affair, the other where she misses it and continues living with him. Gwyneth Paltrow has never been so endearing (and no-one has ever pulled off a British accent so convincingly), and knows how to play the audience well as we're rooting for her from the very beginning. She's downtrodden yet resourceful as we see in the two plots. The slapstick comedy from her husband as he's desperate to keep the affair secret maintains a light air despite more complicated issues that arrive with Helen. Whilst in the other story Helen meets a nice Irish bloke (Nesbitt), has a new haircut and is generally happy. Okay, so this isn't anything new but the director manages to run the two stories alongside each other effortlessly and it's so cutely funny that it's hard not to be taken in, especially when all the romantic plots are underlined with an essential humour. What is most surprising about this movie though is the ending, which will certainly shock its audience with its sheer difference to most romantic comedies. It's a brave move, yet 'Sliding Doors' manages to pull it off. This is one of the best romantic comedies that I have ever seen.
Rating: Summary: It makes you laugh, cry...and wonder Review: I truly enjoyed this sweet and unique film from Britain.It is a charming and thoughtful portrayal of a young woman named Helen (Gwyneth Paltrow)who is fired from her job, and finds parallel destiny in the doors of a subway train. It is a story of destiny, and how we can never truly escape what we are meant to do, even if we are going in completely opposite directions. In one version, Helen misses the train, is mugged, goes home to her boyfriend Gerry (John Lynch) who has just finished an afternoon delight with his ex-girlfriend Lydia (Jeanne Tripplehorn). She then begins a series of menial jobs, unaware that her boyfriend is cheating on her. In the version where she makes the train, she meets the charming James (John Hannah) and returns home to find her boyfriend in the throes of passion with Lydia. She leaves him, moves in with her best friend, starts her own business, and begins a loving relationship with James. We see these two versions, and think we know which direction they are going...but it's destiny, after all, and nothing is quite that simple. Gwyneth Paltrow is wonderful as usual, doing her British accent in between 'Emma' and "Viola". Her eyes become big as saucers when she is hurt, and she can express more emotion in a twitch of her face than many actresses can with their whole bodies. John Hannah is wonderful as James, the charming, kind, sweet man of most women's dreams, but still with his faults. I wish John Hannah, and this film for that matter, were more successful. I had never watched the film before, I had neglected to rent it many times, because I wasn't completely "aware" of the film. I regret not seeing it sooner. I cried my eyes out at the end, although I am a bit emotional. It is life seen from a different eye, and I highly recommend it.
