British director Richard Eyre took a serious misstep with this film after three solid films. The story about a man who suspects his beloved wife might have been unfaithful and sets out to find the other man. The question at the heart of the film is whether one woman can love two different men at the same time without having to choose one of them. The problem lies in the writing more than anything that derails the rest of the film including the casting. It would have been more successful if it stayed away from the cliches and went deeper into the characters, specially the woman at the center of the story. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
