this isn't one for the action junkie or the easily bored but its a genial, subtle, enjoyable yarn about two people who meet at a wedding and as always happens on these occasions, hook up. Well thats how it appears at the start with the innocent flirting. Eventually you find out the "history" the couple have together and I'm still not clear if they actually were married briefly or not. I saw this on TV so didn't get the whole split-screen effect which people got if they saw the movie so this review may be different from others but there were split-screen flashbacks from when the couple were together 15/20 years ago before and with some good editing, it added an innovative touch to the movie. This had a well written script and kept the audience guessing as to the true nature of the relationship, whether they would actually sleep together in the hotel room and whether Helena Bonham Carter would postpone her trip home. Without sounding too shallow, i think Mrs Tim Burton is about as sexy as a sack of potatoes so having Eckhart fawn all over her like she was gods gift was unconvincing but beauty in eye of beholder and all that. But if you like relationship movies and enjoyed before sunset/sunrise see this.
