Dir: Hans Canosa
With: Aaron Eckhart, Helena Bonham Carter
Star rating: **
We need to talk. Four little words to strike terror into the heart. In Hans Canosa's intriguing indie there's wall-to-wall yakking, and, if that doesn't make your head spin, the split-screen visuals will.
Aaron Eckhart and Helena Bonham Carter are the pair who meet at a swish Manhattan wedding. She's whip smart and gorgeous, he's slick, blond and witty.
They'd make the perfect couple, if only they weren't already married to other people. While Gabrielle Zevin's dialogue is sometimes too clever-clever to ring true, the verbal tennis match between Eckhart and Bonham Carter has its moments, and the two give their considerable all to the endeavour.
"Maybe I am a self-hating lawyer," says Eckhart's character. "Is there any other kind?"
