The New York psychologist is engaged to his boyfriend. But, suddenly, the heroine finds out that she is already married. It is necessary to make a difficult choice - to decide which of the two men can claim separation from her marital couch.
Everything would have been good if Uma Thurman had not decided that she was able to make spectators laugh; if Griffin Dunne had not decided to repeat something, only he knew, after "40 days and nights"; if Jeffrey Dean Morgan did not become ... an Indian (!!!); if Firth had not eaten chocolates and if the script had been written by other ladies, also pleasant in all respects. And so - sorry, the failure came.
First the plot: in a big city (he is in America alone, and he's called New York), there lives a certain radio-know-it-all. On FM waves, she successfully informs listeners about the way they need to live. Listeners, accordingly, listen, listen and destroy their lives, as their aunt from the radio station told them. At the aunt everything is fine like in her personal life, and with her image everything is fine, and the book should come out ... But! (and this is the main intrigue) as usual in this kind of "soap" Uma herself does not yet know where and how she is mistaken, but she will certainly find out.
So what is the great instructive power of this tedious tape? Oh, it manifests itself in several ways. Let's start with the most notable: the hypostasis of Uma. It so happened that Mrs. Thurman became a cult actress (hello Tarantino) and now to see this attractive lady on the screen not barefoot or without a red suit ... you need to get used to it. The question is, who gave Ume the right to debunk the image carefully created by Quentin, eh?
Hypostasis two, Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Yes, an actor with this name can play only in TV shows. Actually, in the series he just played. While someone did not pull him into the light of God, and specifically in partners with Hillary Swank in "PS I love you." Inspired by something from a distance resembling the recognition of his talent, Morgan migrated to partners for another star, to Uma. The question is, why is he so lucky?
Hypostasis the third, Firth. Well, there's nothing to say. The actor with a tedious face plays a tedious publisher, who paints the walls with boredom and eats chocolates tiresomely. Another question is asked: who could take Firth to the level of an extras?
Hypostasis three, songs and dances. "Yep ..." - said my friend at the premiere, when he started singing and dancing with a glavger, as a limit from Bollywood. "!!!" - was heard from her in response from all sides of the auditorium. I want to ask the emptiness: "Why ?!", but I know for sure that there will be no answer ...
Hypostasis is the last, again the mind. Besides the fact that she is here - the main heroine, she also gave money for this project, and broke her arm during the shooting, and now personally supervises the promotion. It would be desirable to ask, as in the previous paragraph, but the meaning?
You still do not understand where the instructiveness is here? But notice how many questions appeared while watching the tape. And the questions are a product of the mind's torment and the desire of the brain, as well as an indicator of development and tension. In short, the one who asks, he thinks. Well, most often. And who thinks, that, probably, studies ... Therefore more films after which there are questions!
In general, the film is nothing. You can definitely see it. Just against the background of the fact that Uma is our almost everything, it's a pity that ...
