An average movie

I wasn’t sure what to expect from this flick but since I have a weak spot for Keira Knightley, I thought I should give it a try. Indeed, even though she didn’t have the lead yet, it was a her first significant part (before that she only had small roles in ‘Innocent Lies’ and in ‘Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace’ for which she played Natalie Portman's clone). She would eventually breakthrough big time 2 years later in ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl’. Anyway, in fact, this time, the big star was actually Thora Birch who just had a major success with ‘American Beauty’ but after this movie and ‘Ghost World’, she has been mostly involved in some rather obscure features. Coming back to our main feature, it was a decent watch but, to be honest, the whole concept was not really original. Indeed, even though it was rather entertaining, it was still too pedestrian and predictable for my taste and the usual twist ending didn’t helped either. Still, even though it is nothing really amazing, I thought it was not bad at all and I think it is worth a look, especially if you are a fan of Keira Knightley.
