Why?
I've found that people who like this movie either "identify with the characters" or "wish people talked like that". I didn't find the characters to be "flawed", I found them to be "despicable" and "vapid". Kind of like a negative of Seinfeld, but with coarse language.
The thought of wishing people talked like that kind of gives me the willies. I'm not sure what I'd think if I heard somebody say the type of stuff Clive Owen says, I'd have to get back to you on that. I don't think I could stand a world where people talk that
much.

Some nice lines in it, sure. But the story boils down to stripper with a heart of gold bullshit. Oh Jude Law, you had the perfect sex worker companion, but you threw it away for a fling with a woman who looks like Lyle Lovett.

Wait, let me check.
The cast was -
Jude Law
Julia Roberts
Clive Owen
This was something that someone sat through?
Like, for money?

My ex-fiance made me do it. Honest. I had warned her in advance that it was unlikely to be a cuddly date movie.

Did Natalie Portman's list of cinematic masterpieces prompt you to leave her off this list?

Yeah I don't think she's a particularly good actress but I don't hate her.
She seems amusing and articulate in person.
The other three would put me off almost any film.
