you are not the only one. I loved it. Just got it from Netflix and watched it. It was quirky and fun...with some actiony times and ultimately a very unlikely love story. I usually don't care much for Nicole but in this i loved her maybe it was the yummy accent:)

the film was ok. i gave it a 6 out of 10. Nicole was great in this, but the rest of the cast didnt do too much for me, and as soon as it started getting interesting, the movie ended.

i loved this film-it was surprisingly good, i think, especially considering it was so low key-kidman was absolutely fabulous in this..

I agree this movie grows on you. I first saw it at the Venice Film Festival and I admit I slept a bit...though it was mostly because it was very hot in that cinema and I was exhausted.
I saw it again and I found it quite charming, now I own the DVD. My only "problem" is, no way someone as strikingly handsome as Ben Chaplin needs to find an internet wife....

LOL, the haircut was ghastly, but you can see he's very good looking. A face like that is difficult to hide...

It wasn't brilliant but I enjoyed it, it had some very funny parts.

Good film, i often wonder why films like this don't get theatrical releases, this was better than some of the worthless garbage that goes into theaters, and I think it's the best performance Nicole has everdone, to date! The Story kept on surprising me, I didn't go into it knowing anything about it, maybe that made it more fun.

I love this movie!! It's got its own charming mood, and I love it. It may not be the best movie in my collection, but I love it.

The film was average, but I think it's actually one of Nic's best performances... she had the characterisation down pat. Usually I see quite a bit of her in her characters; in this, I didn't see Nicole all that much (and I'm not just referring to her altered appearance).

Although the acting sucked and the sex scenes were obviously fake, the story line was good.

I think it's very underrated too. Some people talked about this film like it was a real dud. It doesn't need to be a life-changing experience, it is what it is: a charming, unusual and interesting little sleeper. Nothing wrong with that. Nicole Kidman was excellent as usual, and Ben Chaplin was adorably cute.

I, too, think this is an underrated film. I own it and always enjoy watching it.
