Catherine (Moore ) suspects that her husband David (Neeson) is cheating on her hires Chloe (Seyfried) to play temptress to her husband to see what he will do.   The two women meet up to discuss these encounters with her husband and find that they are somehow drawn to each other.  When Catherine decides that she no longer wants Chloe to pursue her husband she finds out that Chloe had some ulterior motives of her own.

• This movie is very racy and sexual so be prepared.
• I love it how Amanda Seyfried takes on this role so well.  I have only ever seen her play little miss perfect good girl types and even though I have never seen her play the "bad girl" it was totally believable. 
• Great acting as usual by Julianne Moore.
• The storyline kept me wanting to know more and the ending had a twist I didn't anticipate.  It leaves a few unanswered questions without leaving you totally hanging.

5 STARS

Marie and Bruce

Starring: Julianne Moore and Matthew Broderick
Comedy Drama, 2004 (Rated R)

An unhappily married woman wakes up one morning determined that she will finally tell her husband how she really feels. Over the course of the day they go about their mundane tasks before meeting up at a friends party after which they have planned to go to dinner to talk.

• This movie was a total disappointment. Good actors don't necessarily make good movies and this was a perfect example.
• There were some strange almost dream like totally non sensical sequences involving Marie. They added nothing to the movie except confusion.
• The dialogue was extremely repetitive, overly formal, and downright boring to the point where after a while I could hardly stand to listen anymore. Darling this and Darling that. In fact, I didn't watch the last 1/3 of the movie preferring instead to surf the Internet.
• Great actors with a great reputations but if you happen to see it in Blockbuster leave it on the shelf.
