Starring Natalie Portman, Jud Law, Julia Roberts, and Clive Owens this one's about a love triangle with a fourth (Portman). The acting is good, with Portman stealing the show, the story on the other hand floats around ambiguously most of the time. The writer does a great job taking you through emotions in each of the individual break-ups that litter this film, with a masterful portrayal of those intimate moments when you realize a break-up is for real. Roberts, Law and Owens hold their own (with Roberts leading that pack) but don't quite have it in this one. The characters seem to wafer between sadism and stupidity in their choices about love and their partnership, making want to roll your eyes.- Jim
