Wicker Park
Director: Paul McGuigan
Year: 2004
Stars: Josh Hartnett, Matthew Lillard, Rose Byrne, Diane Kruger
The second Matthew Lillard film in a row - not sure what's going on there, I haven't seen him in that many films and then two come along at once! In fairness, he's not bad here - a lot more subdued than many of his other characters - I'd even go so far as to say likeable. The film too is pretty enjoyable. Based on the original film L'Appartement, it makes a nice change from your standard romance, and a nice surprise if that's what you're expecting.
To say much about the plot would more than likely give away some of the twists in the movie (usually small, but all relatively important to the plot, and they make perfect sense put together), but basically it's about Matt's (Josh Hartnett's) somewhat complex love life.
Whether or not you enjoy this will probably depend to some extent on your mood, but I thought it was an excellent movie, well acted and well told.
Rating: 4 out of 5
