A Life Less Ordinary isn't a romantic comedy, which is likely where all of the mainstream critics came unhitched in their appraisals. It's a dark comedy/farce with a romantic aspect to it, which is rather surreal.

In other words, it's aA Life Less Ordinary isn't a romantic comedy, which is likely where all of the mainstream critics came unhitched in their appraisals. It's a dark comedy/farce with a romantic aspect to it, which is rather surreal.

In other words, it's a screwball comedy. If you're expecting a traditional romantic comedy, you're going to come unstuck here.

So instead of relying on the advice of the critics, give this movie a chance.Ewan McGregor puts in a solid performance, as does Cameron Diaz. It makes and excellently light counterpoint to the two previous Hodges/MacDonald/Boyle movies - Shallow Grave and Trainspotting.

Holly Hunter and Delroy Lindo pretty much steal the show though.… Expand
