IMDB User Comments

Well made but a little overly romantic I enjoyed this film and the big reason I liked it is because I have always enjoyed watching characters in investigative plots. Thats why I enjoyed "All The Presidents Men" so much. I find it very interesting to watch them discover things and try to deduce facts and reason them out. But one thing that I did care that much about was the romantic angle between Paltrow and Eckhart. I just didn't care for they're feelings for one another. Movies just can't team a man and a woman together and not have them get romantic. It seems forced. I know this is based on a book and thats probably what happened in it but I still thought it got in the way! Paltrow's english accent isn't to bad either.
