A non original plot, with great variation., 8 December 1998
Author: Exec' from London

After being bored for 10 minutes by a terrible British short, this film came as a much more refreshing style of film. With it's very similar style to "Sliding Doors", this films goes about portraying the life of a strugling actor that stumbles across some strange dust men after ruining his relationship with his long term girlfriend, they manage to send him through time to the year before, in fact to the same day he ruined his relationship, he must now try to end his affair with fellow actress which in turn would end the jeapardy of his relationship. A well thought out plot, although not original, the acting is extremely good from the stars in their first film together. They convey their relationship well and leave the audience wanting them to make it. A nice romantic comedy, which may not appeal to everyone but certainly to those fans of Sliding Doors, Picture Perfect, My Best Friends Wedding etc.
