Such a joke of a movie, and of the audience’s sensibilities! Do not waste your time on this nonsense.

Brilliant, just brilliant stuff! No other words to express how much I enjoyed the film, which had so many interesting things going for it, without necessarily being preachy. Highly recommend!

I’m not familiar with Atom Egoyan’s work, so when I watched Chloe, it was because it starred Julianne Moore and Amanda Seyfried. And both of them do not disappoint, their acting being the shoulders on which the film stands.

What is a promising first half, and a strong acting cast is let down severely in the second half. It’s almost as if the scriptwriters couldn’t wait to get to the end of the movie, rushing through the scenes in what is supposed to be a shocking twist (erotic thriller after all, right?) but ends in a whimper because of poor execution. I cannot add more criticism here without giving away the plot, but it’s such a pity that a movie that starts so strongly, is equal parts mystery and confrontation with seduction/motivations, falters so spectacularly at the end. We are never given a chance to fully engage with the characters, and this is where the movie leaves us cold at the end.

What is it about vampire/werewolves/superheroes that these stories need to start with a high school/teenage set up? Beyond that unbelievable cliche and lack of reinvention, the plot is somewhat engaging in this series.

I’m pretty sure that for a lot of people the hotness of the cast makes up for really unimaginative teen angst and cliche ridden dialogues? But the good thing is all the cast members can actually act…but there is too unnecessary crap with bloodshed and stilted dialogues for this to merit a lot of attention.

I can’t help feeling that there were several layers here that could have been explored further for something more deeper, more significant. I’m told that the book is better (isn’t that always so?) but I enjoyed the movie in a morbid sort of a way. Throughout the movie I just kept wondering…why don’t they just leave, why don’t they just run away..the strange things people do, the stranger reasons they have for doing them..all the complexities of human emotions.

I highly recommend this book, it’s a fascinating read. Living in India and growing up learning the history of the world through such a narrow lens, this book was a revelation. It’s a fairly objective historical account, and seeks to remedy a collective “selective memory” as the author likes to term it in the book about the role Cuba has played in internationalism, socialism and providing humanitarian aid to underdeveloped countries without a direct benefit for Cuba. So much for realpolitik!

Utter mind numbing crap.

I recommending fast forwarding to the scenes where Daniel Craig looks dashing and speaks mysteriously. Avoid the rest.

I haven’t read the book this movie is based on, and I’m pretty sure it’s an entertaining read. Everyone loves the inside gossip of how bad and cut-throat the showbiz industry is. The snarkier the gossip, the better.

As far as the movie goes, the script is tight with the humour and the drama. Things explode on your screen at the right moment and Simon Pegg walks away with all honours. He’s top-notch as the annoying but eager to succeed writer who bumbles his way around.

Kirsten Dunst has certainly made a career out of starring in movies where she’s constantly and hopelessly in love with the wrong guy. Weird pattern but it works in this movie.

Megan Fox is okay. Oddly enough there’s something about so convincing about her airheaded bimbo character that makes you think she’s not acting at all.

Others are just about vapid and vain enough to them believable.

All the high points of the movie and the performances are negated by the wimpy, sentimental ending though.

Do screenplay writers ever stop and look at what they are writing, and go, ‘Wow, this is full of shit and I can’t believe we are going to feed this to the audience!’?

Sure – movies are all about the bigger picture, the things we aspire for, the glossy stuff out there that seems within reach for us everyday people but surely there has to be an element of logic to it? The Accidental Husband has to be the most inane piece of romantic comedy I’ve seen in a long time.

- Mild Spoiler alert-

The crux of my argument (and why I have given just one star to the movie): What makes a woman so grounded in her belief about the rules of love and who is seemingly in a stable relationship throw it all away for the charm of someone she barely knows? Is this how relationships work?

Never does Emma (played by Uma Thurman) stop and introspect on her relationship and what she wants out of her partner and a marriage. Her character is just there, passive and waiting to be pushed into these situations where she’s swooped into a kiss, an embrace, into a supposed happy ending. And she makes these decisions based on what exactly? Never does she fall in love with Patrick inasmuch as falls out of love with her fiance – but the reasons are never clearly explored. It just happens! Like magic! Like high school puppy dog love!

There are some beautiful movies that explore the dilemma of being in love vis a vis that of being in a relationship or a marriage, and there’s some equally bad movies about the same. But this is nowhere.

The whole premise of the movie being based on the “accident”, which you discover in the first half hour of the movie – after which its neither funny, nor romantic nor original.

I adore Uma Thurman and Colin Firth. But even they couldn’t save the movie!

Such a terrible movie!

Point number one being: Liz Hurley, for all her gorgeousness, cannot act. I wanted to scream in frustration at the times when she’s trying to be devilish or worse, funny.

The movie is extremely slow-paced and so dull that I could pause it several times to get lunch, coffee, take a loo break and what not.

This kind of a movie is just not my thing.
