Birthday Girl

Great Cast, so-so movie

To start off i have to give praise to this cast, ben Chaplin was great, and kidman was excellent as always. But also had nino from amelie (the love interest guy) and the main badguy from brotherhood of the wolf.

This movie wasnt american, it was british or possibly Austrailian.

All and all it wasnt that great, but not that bad, it needed more action, it was nice and short, and it had a good ending. it was also very funny.

Birthday Girl was produced in The U.K.

I'm probably going to check it out tomorrow evening.

i think u would like it, holden. Its kinda like a chick flick though.

Hey, I like chicks and I like flicks, so I don't see a problem there. I'll let you know what I think of it tomorrow night sometime.

Waiting in anticipation.

It hasn't crtically fared so well yet.

that title sure doesn't help. i get what they were doing using it but really, that was just silly. i may rent it one day, when i'm bored. and need a hit of ben chaplin being winky and getting seduced by a redhead badgirl kidman. i like her without curly hair. heh.

I don't see how anyone would label this a "chick flick" (much more akin to The Mexican than Chocolat), but it was OK I suppose. Not really worth making a special trip, but not bad for a matinee screening this weekend if you've got nothing better to do. Very basic stuff all around, but not insultingly stupid or annoying or anything like that. The actors are naturally charming and charistmatic enough to make it watchable. It lacked some consistency in tone that could have made it sing, even with the same familiar plotting. A Guy Ritchie type with oodles of style to spare might have made it better, but as is it's just OK.

At least you get to see Nicole's quite marvelous bare @ss, watch her simulate a hand-job, and constantly strut about in sexy little outfits.

Grade: C+

Sounds like fun to me!
