Rating:

Mart plays a sort of rich playboy in this film who has the bad fortune to run into Nell Tiscowitz (Miranda Otto). She is a rather hopeless person that manages to put his well orderd life upside down. But nevertheless they fall in love and Nell manages to overcome her profound childhood trauma.

The one big problem of this comedy is that it just wants too much. It's best moments are the more slapstick like scenes, the light comedy and obviously Mart's Cary Grant like charme. But unfortunately every time the movie touches the underlying rather sad and difficult topic of Nell's abuse in her childhood days it fails miserably. Nevertheless, if you just take it as light entertainment you will enjoy this film quite a lot.
