Product Details

Product Description

Amazon.ca

This is a surprising disappointment, considering it is the third film from director Danny Boyle, writer John Hodge, and actor Ewan McGregor. This disjointed and strained romantic comedy is not even near the same league as Trainspotting and Shallow Grave. Cameron Diaz is a spoiled heiress and McGregor an aimless janitor brought together by two angels (Holly Hunter and Delroy Lindo) hoping to hang onto their wings. McGregor kidnaps Diaz, the boss's daughter, after being fired from his crummy job. She is not all that averse to being snatched. Most of the laughs are lost to a scattershot story that feels preposterous instead of magical. --Rochelle O'Gorman

Product Description

Cameron Diaz and Ewan McGregor are star-crossed lovebirds on the lam in this twisted romantic comedy from the creators of "Trainspotting." Celine (Diaz) is a spoiled, rich young woman whose worst nightmare is having her credit card rejected. Robert (McGregor) is a hapless janitor whose greatest dream is to write the Great American Trash Novel. They have nothing in common - except the burning desire to live "a life less ordinary." When Celine is kidnapped by the inept Robert, a pair of celestial cops are dispatched to earth to make sure they live that "life less ordinary" together. Co-starring Oscar® -winner Holly Hunter and Delroy Lindo.

4.0 out of 5 stars Somehow It Works May 11 2004
By Kristine Cook
Format:VHS Tape
When thinking about my review, I was trying to come up with why I love this movie so much and can't really. The acting is wonderful, I suppose that's the main reason. However, the storyline doesn't really do much for me. It was definitely less ordinary, but there was just something lacking. However, the humor and acting do make up for it, and I would definitely recommend you see this.

Ewan McGregor is simply wonderful as Robert, a somewhat confused guy just trying to hold down a life. After being dumped by his girlfriend and fired from his job as a janitor (to be replaced by robots) all in the same day, he's had enough and decides to take matters into his own hands. Soon he is in the head of the company's office, threatening him. But, as luck would have it, the boss' daughter was there meeting with him. This eventually turns into Celine (Cameron Diaz) being kidnapped and taken to a remote cabin. All sounds wonderful: except for the fact that Robert has no idea what he's doing. As I said before, Ewan does a superb job of playing such an unprepared, clueless character. While I'm not much of a Cameron fan, I will admit she was perfect for the part of the non-feeling spoiled brat. Overall, they save this movie. Make sure to check it out soon!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, Fun!! Mar 15 2004

Format:VHS Tape
I absolutely adore this movie!! It's definately in my top ten, maybe even my top five! ^.^ It's just sooo cute, sweet, funny and twisted. ^.~
The character Robert is a completely loveable loser who only wanted his job back, and Celine is just such a wildchild brat that it works. ^_____________^ Great fun.

Format:DVD
This is one of the most offbeat films I've seen in a very long time. I agree with most everyone else who reviewed this movie. "A Life Less Ordinary" is Extra-ordinary!

5.0 out of 5 stars somewhere beyond the sea.....
As close to magical realism as American cinema can get....a fairly flawless film. One of Ewan's most endearing (i.e. bumbling) roles.

4.0 out of 5 stars The makes of a terrible movie, but, hey, it's good!
The plot of this movie is terrible, the angels really bring this film down. It's amazing this movie ever got made, it's completely unrealistic with nothing really to lift it up. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Personally...It's my favorite movie of all time
This film is for those of us who are hopeless romantics in hiding. Eccentric, imaginative, deadpan, quick-pulsed, and beautifully hopeful. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Talented actors wasted in lousy movie! Wasted money to rent!
Wow, it seems a shame that the lovely Cameron Diaz can be in so many mediocre to awful movies. This ranks down near the bottom, in the same category as THE SWEETEST THING. Read more
