Featured review
Was this a joke?
***Mild Spolier*** I like a sexy no-brainer movie just as much as the next guy but this was ridiculous! Not only did the plot leave sooo much to be desired but the acting sucked. For instance, Heather Graham had no problem sleeping with a total stranger but then all of a sudden she's too shy to let him see her boobs. Not to mention that they've had about three sessions of hot sex with virtually no conversation which means-alas! We're destined for each other-let's get married! Grahamn and Fiennes have been in some great flicks (Shakespear in Love, Boogie Nights) but this was definately a step down. It was almost depressing to watch what has become of their acting careers.
