Plot summary

An aloof, struggling food photographer thinks he has found true love with a fiery grade-school teacher. At first, the relationship is all wine and roses, but as they realize they have little in common besides great sex, the romance wanes, and they struggle through a succession of break-ups and reunions as they try to work things out.

Russell Crowe saves this movie

Personally, I rented this movie because Russell Crowe starred in it before he got huge. That fact was the only thing that saved this movie. Granted, it was a good story and the casting was wonderful, however, at the end of a movie, one is not supposed to be left with questions. What were their last names? What grade did she teach? What was it he did? What city were they in? Basic questions should be answered in the beginning. I can see asking yourself at the end, "Why did their relationship turn the way it did?" Of course, you should almost have an answer for that too. Film makers definitely do not want to leave you with the question, "Why did I rent this movie?" but this movie would achieve that if it hadn't been for the young, mostly shirtless, incredible actor, Russell Crowe.

Some spoilers!!

(some spoilers) Boy and girl together. Girl leaves boy. Girl comes back. Girl and boy make love. Girl breaks up with boy. Boy begs girl to come back. Girl comes back. Boy and girl make love. Boy breaks up with girl. Girl begs boy to come back. Boy comes back. Boy and girl make love. Girl breaks up with boy. Boy asks girl to marry him. Girl accepts. (!!??!!) Boy and girl in front of the minister. Boy faints. Girl breaks up with boy. Forever.This is BREAKING UP. Good points: for the actors, Salma Hayek and Russel Crowe - very convincing in difficult roles. And also the idea of making a movie only with 2 actors. Bad points: the rest. Especially the story, most of the times pathetic and unbelieveble. Vote: 5
