    The characters are great, but the story is only OK. Liam Neeson and Oliver Platt are fantastic. The plot is a little strange, so pay attention. This is a fairly good comedy, and I would recommend it.

    Not quite what you would expect from these actors. Nevertheless, it's a highly unusual and entertaining film. Keep wide awake or you will loose the plot, which is pretty convoluted.

    I loved all the actors in this movie! Liam Neeson was brilliant as usual, Oliver Platt was hilarious, and Sandra Bullock added just a little glitter to the movie. I didn't really understand what was happing until half way through the movie, but the ending made up for it. I would recomend this movie if you liked "Anaylize This". The idea is very similar but I liked the cast in this movie much more!
