During the last 15 minutes of the movie I was just laughing. Not because of the comedy (there is no such thing in this film), but because how stupid it could be. Imagine you are watching a soccer game and the players are so bad they are not even able to touch the ball – this kind of laugh I'm talking about. This movie was nothing but a 105' piece of unintentional humor.
Poor idea, bad script, flat action, stupid dialogs, unnatural acting performances, very slow pace (inexcusable in this case, since there is nothing deep to understand or feel). I had a strong feeling of seeing again some 80s' Romanian movie, such as 'Liceenii', but unnecessary nudity or sex scenes dotted about.
But the worst thing was the story itself. It's end, I mean. This end turned one bad movie into a huge non-sense. You lose your time expecting to see how the main characters solve their relationship problem, and you get them solving nothing. You endured such a long flat movie for no reward.
Recommended only for people who are not searching for any deep message and/or interesting story, just wanting to watch two 50 years old persons getting in love and... nothing more. I guess the fans of 'The Young and the Restless' will really enjoy this movie.
PS. I totally agree with Alex Iordache in his review.

I'm not a fan of this genre (soft drama|comedy), I'd rather watch a psychological thriller, or a horror. But I really enjoyed this movie. 9 stars from me.
The plot is both interesting and intelligent. And very well fructified by the director. I liked very much that the entire movie focuses on what's happening in the main characters' minds and NOT on some exotic facts regarding India and its religious gurus.
The acting was not good, but excellent. Both PJ Waters (the macho American treater, played by Harvey Keitel) and Ruth (the Australian girl fascinated by an Indian guru, played by Kate Winslet) really convinced me that they are real people, not just fiction :). Kate Winslet is far from being a Miss Australia, but she is more attractive, in her femininity, than 20 Miss Univers.
Oh, I also liked the music. Generally, I don't like musical parts of a movie. But this time these moments fitted very well in the plot. Especially "I put a spell on you". They are not just entertainment, they are important elements in building the way you'll understand the action.
