Break on through; don't stop to press pl

Anthony Minghella's first original screenplay since 1991's Truly Madly Deeply is a garbled and somewhat lumbering affair between two sets of people from opposite sides of the social divide. His plot feels as forced as a smile on Anne Robinson's face, which in turn makes the performances labored and leaves the whole thing lacking plausibility.

I expected much more from this cast.

London comes out the only winner here -- un-cliched, oozing with grime and always an interesting subject to view. Still, not a good enough reason to watch this film.
