Once again, I rented this movie only because Ewan McGregor is in it. Man, what a disappointment. He doesn't even look that great in this movie. Its like they were going to for the David Bowie look but they forgot that David Bowie is gay (or bi or whatever, who cares).
Anyway, the story *sigh* what a mess. Apparently, the characters are *destined* to be together but unless some angels drop in to help out its not going to happen. They never say why they have to be together. Or why they won't fall in love on their own. Or why they can't fix they're problems themselves...lots of plot holes. Kinda reminds me of the plot holes in Eye of The Beholder, only at least there were *funny* moments in this movie. NOT MANY! But one or two here and there.
I wouldn't say the acting was bad. Its not like they had a lot to work with. Some of the characters I never figured out what was going on with them; like Holly Hunter's character. I know Holly Hunter can act, but her character was suppose to help these too people fall in love and she *really* wanted to kill Ewan McGregor in one particular scene. I don't know why! I wish someone would please explain it to me. I'm not sure if its the director's or the writer's fault.
Anyway, the ending... also a mess. I'm not going to spoil it for you here, but it brought corniness to a whole new level... I mean low... level... It was so bad I could have cried. At least Ewan McGregor was wearing a kilt. That doesn't make up for it too much though.
