Closer-could not be worse.

This stagey POS reaked from moment one. Clive Owen cannot act. I like the parts he plays, but he cannot act; that is why he banged on doors in Hollywood for ten years getting nowhere.

There is one scene in the Julia Roberts studio where you can see Clive O is counting his steps, left over from when he performed the part in the play, and undoubtedly counted his steps.

When he smiles, it looks SO PHONEY. The dialogue belongs in a high school writing class, getting a "D" and the setups are grotesque. Jude does the best he can with lines that tank. And the stripper scene was so devoid of heat, I turned it off mid encounter. I have no idea what happened, and don't care.

Roger Ebert can be bought; this is a one star at best.
He gave it four.

BTW: Julie Roberts is the most average, plain looking woman on the planet. And since she cannot act, how does she remain a public favorite? I guess the same people who like cheez-whiz.
