Pros: Nicole Kidman. Unique plot Cons: Slow moving at times
I have seen many movies that Nicole Kidman has been in. There are some that I haven’t seen, but I do like her. I have thought that she was talented for a long time now. I’m glad to see that she is finally getting recognition. The last few ...
Pros: Well, they got the Russian bits right... Cons: Sleezy and unlikeable, I was so happy to see this film end.
I can usually sit through a film if there's the merest thread of a plot to hang onto. Unfortunately, not even Nicole Kidman can save this tawdry hash of a film involving a Russian e-mail-order bride, a banker and two thugs. That's pretty much the...
Pros: Kidman is sultry and fantastic as ever. Cons: Awkward change in story.
This here review is part of Artbyjude’s celebratory “Granniemose Birthday Bash Write-off!”, a write/off that pretty much explains itself. In order to celebrate the 80th birthday of Epinions writer Granniemose, anyone and everyone was...
Pros: I did not have to stay home tonight to see re-runs of Jeopardy Cons: Plot-Character, Direction-Cheap vodka with a twist
I just saw a highly rated dud. The film is The Birthday girl starring Nicole Kidman and Ben Chaplin. This is a birthday party I hope they don’t invite me to in the near future because sweetheart I am not going!
Pros: Unpredictable, Good Acting Cons: Slow, Ending
This is one of those movies I didn't hear much about, but kind of wanted to see anyway. I knew it would be different and Nicole Kidman is a good actress. Well, it was definitely different and unpredictable, but I found it a little boring in the...
Pros: Kidman's performance and a few satisfying twists. Cons: It's not exactly what you'd call "action-packed".
It's nice to see a movie that doesn't do EXACTLY what you expect it to. While Birthday Girl isn't likely to rank among 2002's most memorable films, there's more than enough entertainment here to warrant a visit.
Pros: Ben Chaplin, overall acting, clever story, good premise. Cons: For all its good parts, the overall film doesn’t quite work.
The image of Nicole Kidman naked and tied to a bed is what is going to make this movie so successful on video. I’m sure there is a digital capture of that already circulating around the web, and all of her ‘fans’ are asking “what movie does this belong...
Pros: Nicole Kidman is pretty convincing, fairly entertaining Cons: script doesn't quite hold together
Synopsis
John. He’s a nice guy. He’s more than a nice guy. He works hard, keeps his house up, tries to be a good citizen, and takes his garbage out. So he has a little trouble meeting girls. It’s not that he doesn’t get out to the...
Pros: Another brilliant Nicole Kidman performance, playfully romantic, and suspenseful final act Cons: Very few...some weak character development, abrupt shift in tone
The idea of a mail-order bride is something that a surprising amount of men consider at one point or another. How many of those men actually act on it is a different story. Whatever the case may be, director Jez Butterworth’s new film, Birthday...
Pros: Kidman, sexually forthright and Chaplin, nebbishy and naive. Cons: In a more even film, on firmer romantic ground, those two could sizzle
Normally I would avoid any movie directed by someone named "Jez", and, frankly I've seen more somber names than "Jez Butterworth" on my weekly porn rentals. On the basis of seeing Birthday Girl I have to say this guy might have something to say. Luckily...
Pros: The relationship between Kidman and Chaplin is interesting... Cons: ...For the fifteen minutes devoted to it.
For many years, I have tried to avoid Nicole Kidman’s films. Each of her characters had a common theme. The ice running through their veins made it difficult to like them. Then she made “Moulin Rouge” and “The Others”. Each of these films made it to my...
Pros: A worthwhile performance by Nicole Kidman. Cons: The film can't decide what it wants to be.
There is a scene in "Birthday Girl" that involves the two main characters. It takes place on a lonely stretch of road and both characters aren't exactly on the best of terms. Suddenly, the female lead breaks the ice with small talk and the male lead...
Pros: Nicole Kidman's abs, Ben Chaplin's sweaters, cleverness of script Cons: No major cons
Although Julia Roberts and Meg Ryan still reign as America’s Box Office Sweethearts, the time has come for us to recognize that Kidman is the best actress of the three. With her risky choice to play Satine, the dying courtesan in last year’s Moulin...
At a London airport shy bank clerk John Ben Chaplin watches passengers arriving from an international flight. He's waiting for his mail order bride to...More at Family Video
