My problem with this movie is that I couldn't muster an ounce of sympathy for Emma Thompson's character. Her husband (Tucci) was SO nice, and she was such a total shit to him - that I really would've been perfectly fine with her getting hit by a very large, very rapidly moving bus. And that prevented me from fully enjoying some other aspects of the movie.
As far as the overall storyline of the movie, it had some great bits and a lot of potential, but I thought it fell short - to me, it felt like it sort of halfway explored several of the major issues. Also, the treatment of some of the religious themes was just kind of juvenile and cliche'.
I will say this: top-notch acting all round, the whole cast.
