Not having a clue what this film was about, and without better things to watch, the title hooked us, as well as the cast. Then it started and frankly, the film is a far fetched story with characters and situations that don't ring true. The basic problem of the film is the script that writer/director Charlie Peters created as the basis of the movie.
The acting is uneven at best. Jude Law plays Danny who is in love with Anna, the young woman he helped bring into the world. We just don't believe Danny, the tile man, will come back to pursue Anna, at all. Gretchen Mol is somehow stiff with Anna, who appears as though she doesn't care about Danny and does everything to get him away. We don't believe, for a moment that Nina, the blind sister, played by Jennifer Tilly is real. Not only that, but that she is lured out of her world when she meets the loving Latino waiter at that seedy club doesn't make sense, besides, even if she can't see, her family surely would have objected to the situation. Brenda Blethyn, Jeremy Priven, Martha Plimpton, and especially the wonderful Jane Adams, don't have a thing to do.
Most comments in this forum refer it as cute, we could only add, to watch it at your own risk.
