Dare I say this wasn't that bad. I really don't know anything about it going into the theater (hadn't even seen the trailer) but from one poster it looked like a piece of shit chick flick but it actually turned out pretty good and was well put together in my honest opinion. Anyone else see it?

I thought it was pretty good, with a surprising nice soundtrack, to boot. Aside from the Americanized happy ending, they stayed really close to L'Appartement; I noticed quite a few shots and lines lifted directly from the original (and I assume the name of the restaurant was a nod to Monica Belluci).

I'm curious to know if there was an alternate ending shot, because having Daniel, Lisa's "stalker," as part of the story was almost pointless without the much darker outcome he initiated originally.

Hey, the movie lucks sorta sumb, but that crazy girl looks hot, so I might check it out. Hey, I like crazy girls.

.... That and the premise does sound a bit interesting.

Looks like a half decent flick but suffers from a severe lack of nudity and love scenes.

Yeah I really liked the soundtrack and how they filmed in. This song sounded exactly like Coldplay's though...

You'll love the movie if you like the soundtrack, the movie is just gushing with music moments. I swear at least 50% of the movie they have the soundtrack playing. It wasnt that bad of a thing though.

I thought the movie was excellent though. Definatly in my Top 10 of the year so far. I really liked it and there was some good acting in it. WTF happened to Josh Hartnett anyways, he was actually in a decent movie and didnt do a shitty job of acting. Ive never seen the French movie it was based on, but I really liked some of the filming techniques used in it. Like viewing the same shot from different angles, it was interesting and it wasnt too over used and when they did it was cool. I might see it again, and definatly picking this up on DVD. I had serious doubts going in which may have helped me liking it, but I was actually blown away. It was really really good. It might even be in my Top 5 of the year. I cant remember the last time ive seen a movie this entertaining that wasnt a comedy or action. I mean its a love triangle story with actors I dont particularly like(Hartnett and Lillard) or know much about(the 2 chicks), not much initial draw there. Very surprised.
