Aka Martha - Meet Frank, Daniel and Laurence. Martha (Monica Potter) is tired of her life and leaves Minneapolis for random location London. Daniel (Tom Hollander) falls head over heels for her and follows her on the plane. She gives him the brush off but back home, he tells his best friends, Frank and Laurence, that he has found his dream girl. Unbeknownst to all three, each one has or will have fallen for Martha individually. Former child star Frank (Rufus Sewell) is now a struggling actor. Laurence (Joseph Fiennes) talks to Pedersen (Ray Winstone) who appears to be his therapist.
Monica Potter is very cute and the guys are all good actors. I would like to switch Sewell and Hollander. Hollander's shorter stature screams former child actor and Sewell has the intensity to be a music executive. The big issue is the movie's construction. It's trying too hard. I do wonder if the movie would be better to follow Martha instead and construct the movie in a straight timeline. As it stands, the movie leaves Martha, as a disjointed and flighty character. I get what the movie is trying to do and that is part of the problem. This film is relying too much on its own construction.
