Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Nice concept, shaky execution--that about sums up the mixed blessings of British actor Peter Howitt's intelligent but forgivably flawed debut as a writer-director. It's got more emotional depth than most frothy romantic comedies, and its central idea--the parallel tracking of two possible destinies for a young London professional played by Gwyneth Paltrow--is full of involving possibilities. It's essentially a what-if scenario with Helen (Paltrow) at the center of two slightly but significantly different romantic trajectories, one involving her two-timing boyfriend (John Lynch) and the other with an amiable chap (John Hannah) who represents a happier outcome. That's the film's basic problem, however: The two scenarios are so romantically imbalanced (one guy's a total cad, the other charmingly sincere) that Helen inadvertently comes off looking foolish and needlessly confused. Still, this remains a pleasant experiment, and Howitt's dialogue is witty enough to keep things entertaining. It's also a treat for Paltrow fans; not only does the svelte actress handle a British accent without embarrassing herself, but she gets to play two subtle variations of the same character, sporting different wardrobes and hairstyles in a role that plays into her glamorous off-screen persona. --Jeff Shannon Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Just Simply AwesomeJust like my title, this is just simply an awesome movie of chances of taking different roads. Just sit watch and enjoy. Rating: - A Wonderful Little Film!A friend suggested this movie. I'd never heard of it. What a wonderful little film! The story is upbeat and fast-moving and the premise fascinating. I'm a huge fan of Gwyneth Paltrow (Proof is fabulous) and she's charming in the two roles this story demands of her. You can't help but pull for her - in both realities. And you can't help but think of those times in your own life when a "sliding door" may have put you on a completely different path. A fun movie to watch with friends and family for ...

The two stories then interweave as both Helens interact with many of the same characters. She has a boyfriend who is unfaithful (and is something of a wretch to boot) and she meets and dates a man who is her soulmate. Other reviews have commented on the unfaithful boyfriend being such a schlemiel that it is an insult to her intelligence for her to stay with him. Folks: LOVE IS STUPID ...

I generally am not - watching films in the romantic comedy genre - however I recognize when a movie is romantic or comedic. This film was neither. Rating:  - Subtitle please!This movie is so original, and for $7 bucks it's worth every penny! I remember seeing this movie preview long ago, but it didn't appeal to me then. One of my co-worker brought it up and explain the movie what if scenario to me, and I took a chance and bought it. I'm so glad I did, because it's such a great movie. You have to see the ending to see why! I promise you will not regret it. Oh~ I gave it 4 stars, because I didn't understand what the bloody hell they were talking about at first, because of ...
