About this movie

The split-second moments that can take a life down one path instead of another form the tantalizing "what if?" in this delightful romantic comedy starring Gwyneth Paltrow.

Ratings and reviews

The movie deals with the concept of how one moment in anyone's life can be changed into two divergent paths once one door opens while another door closes, thus title "Sliding Doors." It explores the possibility of what could happen vs what is taking place for the character of Helen and her boyfriend, Gerry. If you're not careful paying attention to the shifts of Helen's life in the movie, it can be somewhat confusing; however, if you are sharp enough, you can see her adventure through. Enjoy!

The worst movie I've ever seen. Complete waste of time. Nothing but infidelity, bad life decisions, and phone calls. Lots of phone calls, I guess that's what people did in the 90s. At least in the end, none of it mattered. No decision was worse than the decision I made to watch this movie. I long to live in the alternate reality where I decided against watching.

This is a classic "what if" story that uses some fun ways to show the different timelines. I found myself cheering for the leading lady and wishing the worst for the cad of a boyfriend. This movie is a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon when you feel like lounging about in your jammies.
