Bill's Comments

This is an off-beat comedy that I kind of liked even though I wasn't sure that I would before I went. The plot twists and turns and keeps you guessing. Nicole Kidman does a very good job of speaking Russian and acting Russian. She has had quite a run of good performances in the last year. Her talents are really coming through in her movies.
