    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:
    Great Fun - Yes, lads, for you too. ; ) 5 Star Review
    2008-09-14 - For want of trying to avoid a little girl two stories emerge. Helen (Gwyneth Paltrow) either catches or misses a train. The two stories then interweave as both Helens interact with many of the same characters. She has a boyfriend who is unfaithful (and is something of a wretch to boot) and she meets and dates a man who is her soulmate. Other reviews have commented on the unfaithful boyfriend being such a schlemiel that it is an insult to her intelligence for her to stay with him. Folks: LOVE IS STUPID SOMETIMES. I found the awkwardness others complain about to be part of the charm. Love does work like that. But - the humor is snappy - very British and laugh out loud funny (I can sit stone faced through many so-called comedies, so take this as a complement of the highest order.) - and the movie is good fun. This is a chick flick, but trust me guys - you'll enjoy it too. Awkward in places (I would have had the divergence scene split on screen and maintain that split screen to parallel the scenes until the train leaves.) but a great first effort by writer-director Peter Howitt. And props for one of my favorite Warren Zevon written songs being included. I'll let you find it. Enjoy!!!

    Seriously? 1 Star Review
    2008-08-13 - Did anyone seriously not see the end of the movie from the beginning? Super predictible. Paltrow seems to rarely impress. I generally am not - watching films in the romantic comedy genre - however I recognize when a movie is romantic or comedic. This film was neither.

    Subtitle please! 4 Star Review
    2008-07-25 - This movie is so original, and for $7 bucks it's worth every penny! I remember seeing this movie preview long ago, but it didn't appeal to me then. One of my co-worker brought it up and explain the movie what if scenario to me, and I took a chance and bought it. I'm so glad I did, because it's such a great movie. You have to see the ending to see why! I promise you will not regret it. Oh~ I gave it 4 stars, because I didn't understand what the bloody hell they were talking about at first, because of the British accent. However, subtitle helps!

    A sweet glimse into the choices we make 5 Star Review
    2008-07-14 - I really enjoy this movie. A bittersweet movie definitely for women as most men I know would be asleep ten minutes in. A glimse into a woman's life showing two different paths and where her life would lead if she took one versus the other. You have to pay attention or you'll miss a few key things but it's one for chick flick nights or to watch alone when you need a girlie movie to pick you up.

    Great date movie 3 Star Review
    2008-06-06 - I really enjoyed this movie. It's interesting to see what happens IF.
    It's an exciting look into what we always think of: How things could have
    turned out if we would have chosen a different path or if fate would have had something different in store for us.
    I think it's a great date movie.
