    I bought this DVD for a long time ago, and finally I watched it. First of all, I was very surprised to see young Ewan McGregor, because I'm not a big fun of him, but he is so nice when he was young, I mean he was fresh, wasn't like now. Anyway the story itself was quite fun, especially the last scene I liked it. I saw many people mentioned about this scene on their blogs.

    It's a sort of heavy story.   But I think it's quite well performed by those actors.

    Actually I read an article on some website, the person who wrote that article said Charlize Theron got some prize with ugly woman's role, but somehow she was beautiful so it didn't matter, something like this.   So I didn't want to see it because I had some prejudice for a beauty, haha, anyway I like Christina Ricci, so I watched this film.   It wasn't bad, I had fun. But I couldn't understand Aileen's act.
