Smart-but-ineffectual journalist Dan "We use euphemisms!" cannot decide between his girlfriend, loving-but-clingy waitress Alice, or his lover cold-but-intellectual photographer Anna; herself indecisive between Dan and honest-but-thuggish "You're bloody gorgeous!" doctor Larry. The film puts the four leading characters in a box and strips them apart.

    If you have bipolar disorder, or some kind of depressive disorder, I would skip this one. The only redeeming value was a young Natalie Portman in stripper clothes.

    WARNING: THIS FILM WILL MAKE YOU WANT TO TRY ANONYMOUS SEX Love, sex, and paranoia Man, I thought I had a problem with lying lol “🎶’SMACK MY BITCH UP’🎶” …10 minutes later… “🎶’I am human and I need to be looooved / just like everybody else doeesss’🎶” People were using “Fuckboy” in 2004?? lmao Also hearing two Americans refer to it as ‘the loo’ is so off lol What incredible acting. Clive Owen is a fucking killer. Natalie Portman is a different level of beautiful, which is a wild thing to say in a film where she co-stars with Julia Roberts and Jude Law lmao Should probably rewatch Black Swan Strangely reminded me of Margaret in more ways than one!

    Pretty good, definitely doesn't hold back. I dunno if it's just me but I only cared about Natalie and Clive's characters.

    Both Clive Owen and Jude Law are obsessed with out doing the other one in the bedroom department, constantly trying to out better each other by playing off feelings and emotions of both Julia Roberts and Natalie Portman and each other to show themselves to be the better man.
