About this movie

Cameron Diaz and Ewan McGregor are star-crossed lovebirds on the lam in this twisted romantic comedy from the creators of Trainspotting. Celine (Diaz) is a spoiled, rich young woman whose worst nightmare is having her credit card rejected. Robert (McGregor) is a hapless janitor whose greatest dream is to write the Great American Trash Novel. They have nothing in common - except the burning desire to live "a life less ordinary." When Celine is kidnapped by the inept Robert, a pair of celestial cops are dispatched to earth to make sure they live that "life less ordinary" together. Co-starring Oscar® -winner Holly Hunter and Delroy Lindo.

Ok, this movie is a good but VERY offbeat romance. Sometimes dark, sometimes fantastical, this is definitely not your usual Cameron Diaz movie. Supported by a slew of A-list supporting actors giving solid performances, you would swear they all were making this up as they went along as some kind of improv exercise. An angels and sinners romp in a category all of its own. Watch when you are in the mood for something truly different.
