Hugh Grant was his usual irritating self in this, and I was completely put off by seeing Emmanuelle Seigner's eyebrows which seemed bigger than her whole head. Polanski is a bit of a hit or miss with me (a bit like Steve Martin) and although it was a fairly interesting look into a couple's relationship, it didn't do anything for me. Grant's morals seem continually absent in most of his films and they were no different here. He comes on a luxury cruise with his other half Fiona (Scott Thomas) and is almost immediatly obsessing over Seigner despite the fact that she is there with her crippled husband and doesn't actually seem very interested in him anyway. Her husband pulls Grant to one side and begins to tell him the story of how they met and fell in love. Grant isn't interested to start with but then becomes infatuated with everything he says. Meanwhile Fiona is feeling sea-sick and being irritating to little children.
Polanski's films always have a dark nature to them, but I found this just a bit much, and can't say I enjoyed it.
