Editorial Review:
A ROMANTIC COMEDY CENTERING AROUND A WOMAN LIVING TWO DIFFERENT LIVES AS SHE EXPLORES ALTERNATE SCENARIOS OF LOVE AND LIFESTYLE. THE FILM IS SAID TO DELVE INTO MODERN RELATIONSHIPS, THE CHOICES ENCOUNTERED DAILY AND THE INTRIGUE OF THE ROAD NOT TAKEN.

Description of Sliding Doors:
Nice concept, shaky execution--that about sums up the mixed blessings of British actor Peter Howitt's intelligent but forgivably flawed debut as a writer-director. It's got more emotional depth than most frothy romantic comedies, and its central idea--the parallel tracking of two possible destinies for a young London professional played by Gwyneth Paltrow--is full of involving possibilities. It's essentially a what-if scenario with Helen (Paltrow) at the center of two slightly but significantly different romantic trajectories, one involving her two-timing boyfriend (John Lynch) and the other with an amiable chap (John Hannah) who represents a happier outcome. That's the film's basic problem, however: The two scenarios are so romantically imbalanced (one guy's a total cad, the other charmingly sincere) that Helen inadvertently comes off looking foolish and needlessly confused. Still, this remains a pleasant experiment, and Howitt's dialogue is witty enough to keep things entertaining. It's also a treat for Paltrow fans; not only does the svelte actress handle a British accent without embarrassing herself, but she gets to play two subtle variations of the same character, sporting different wardrobes and hairstyles in a role that plays into her glamorous off-screen persona. --Jeff Shannon

Sliding Doors Reviews:
life in parallel worlds
2009-09-25 - In a way this is sci fi as at one point missing a train splits
the life of Helen in two: one blond and one with here natural light brown hair.
She seems to be attracted to tall and dark
( the one fellow falls short of handsome?).
Both appear to be cads, but the one fellow is actually alright.
If you like Gwyneth Paltrow, you should like this movie,
but i can't say there is a lot to make you want to see it.
The love affairs are pretty dull even with the fighting.
Paltrow has none of the sparks that one sees in her famous films:
Shakespeare in Love (Miramax Collector's Series) or Proof.
I didn't much like the result.



Time enough for love
2009-08-15 - I'm sure that at some time or other everybody thinks that if I had only done something different from a different decision what would life have been and where would I be now. There've been several movies like this with what ifs sometimes people see the future and come back and correct it; some people never see the future. If you enjoy movies like "Happy Accidents" (2000) that you know the premise of this movie and will enjoy it also. There have been better and worse presentations. This presentation hits the mark.

Helen Quilley (Gwyneth Paltrow) makes it and doesn't make it to the sliding door of the subway. This is where the story split into two parts and we follow each Helen as she is the victim and the master of her fate. Luckily the producers of this film split it into nearly 2 completely different stories so we don't keep seen two versions of the same thing like in the movie "Run Lola Run." Notice also that Jeanne Tripplehorn plays an excellent antagonist.

I am sure that you will enjoy this movie. You will find yourself kibitzing. And wondering what would I have done.

Sliding Doors
2009-07-04 - Sliding Doors [Region 2]

I really enjoyed watching this movie. I bought it after borrowing it from the library. Talk about love!! Yes, I would call it a chick flick.

I was really impressed.
2009-06-01 - I ordered this movie from HMV on March 13, they said should be about 2-3 weeks and still haven't received it... today is June 1st. I ordered it from this store, they said I should get it in about 7-11 days and I got the movie about 4 days later. I was very impressed to say the least. The movie was very well wrapped and exactly as they said it would be. Would definitely order from them again!!!

Every Woman Must See This Movie
2009-02-19 - This movie shows how sometimes a small choice can make a huge difference in your life. It also should be required watching for all ladies, because it can make you examine how you are letting people treat you. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in dating and relationships.
