It's both ironic and entirely fitting that this film ends with an Oasis song blaring (plus McGregor's ridiculous Noel Gallagher haircut), as this movie can basically be seen as the cinematic Be Here Now. Which is to say, they both embody the exact moment 'Cool Britannia' hype collapses under the weight of gloriously wrong-headed ideas that must have seemed amazing amidst a blizzard of cocaine ("guys, get this - a metaphysical, postmodern Tarantinoesque throwback classic romantic comedy YES!")

bad to a point where it was almost unwatchable the acting by Diaz and McGregor was mediocre at best. The other actors were just awful. The plot was completely nonsensical, and the dialogue felt like it was written by a 12 year-old. The cinematography was also really bad, the scene transitions were confusing and there were many scenes that could have been cut. the characters were very one-dimensional and there was no growth. very disappointing, overall.

The most 90s movie. The weakest Danny Boyle movie I've seen, and as Roger Ebert says "it never convinces us it needed to be made" but it has some fun experimental Boyle flourishes.
