I'm a celebrity, get me out of here!

Elaine Mooney from Newcastle, England, 24th May, 2006

Kevin Bacon and Colin Firth are 2 fine actors who usually appear in pretty decent (or at least entertaining stuff). Unfortunately, this is neither. The 2 stars seem uncomfortable in their roles and play sleazy, hedonistic characters whom you can't relate to or feel any sympathy for. The female lead looks like she should still be at school, and her acting abilities, or lack of, supports this! The plot has a very obvious 'twist' and the whole thing is just very disappointing from beginning to end. It only gets 2 stars cos I love the male leads, but boys what on Earth made you sign up for this drivel?? Very disappointing and would be a minus if not for Firth and Bacon

Excellent!

A Customer from Brighton, 16th May, 2006

if you like films which twist & turn, and don't mind some strong adult content, you will love this. The performances are excellent, the story intelligent,and it has bags of style.

A good plot gone wrong

theinvinciblerebel from LANCASHIRE, 16th May, 2006

After watching the movie you would probably agree that the story had great potential for a good mystery/suspense movie. But the acting from the lead actors were pretty appalling. Also there was one too many sexually explicit scenes - the director seems to sacrifice a nice plot too easily. Hope for a better remake 20 years down the line.

Good film

A Customer from Worthing, 6th June, 2006

Don't know why this has got some negative reviews. I enjoyed this. It had a really intriguing mystery at the heart of it and kept me interested the whole time. Colin Firth and Kevin Bacon gave fine performances but I wasn't so keen on the lead actress. As for the comments regarding soft porn, I think some people must be easily shocked!.

'B' movie

reubenturner from , 6th September, 2009

This is an unpleasant and exploitative 'b' movie that seems mainly to consist of opportunities for attractive young women to take their clothes off. I have no idea what Kevin Bacon and Colin Firth are doing in it -- maybe they needed the money or were shown a better script than the one that got made.

worth seeing

nobby69 from , 29th June, 2009

for those who found this confusing, here is a tip: when set in the 50's the 2 male leads look younger, and when set in the 70's they look older ( Firth even has a moustache to help you). Soft porn? please!! what are you, mary whitehouse reborn? This is a fine film and I did not see the ending coming at all. I also thought Alison Lohmann was quite charming.The 10 mins of deleted scenes should have been kept in as I think they help the film. Worth a look, unless the time changes are going to be too challenging for you!

a time warp

mimi1 from , 21st June, 2009

Reasonable plot, but so slow. The 'period' setting makes the film irritating and the two main characters are totally dreadful, in spite of two fine actors (what were they thinking of agreeing to take parts in this dire film?) Don't rent it.
