Clinton Yuen I was referred to this movie from a video by spiritualist Teal Swan titled "What are The Akashic Records?" It turns out that the main subject of this movie, that is of a multi-dimensional life and its possibilities, are contain in the Akashic records. Helen, a single public relations professional with a live-in boyfriend named Gerry, gets fired. On her way back home, she is delayed for about a second by a child who steps in front of her as she hurriedly descends down the subway stairway. This causes her to miss the train. In another parallel scenario, the child is moved out of the way and Helen is able to board the train. From this juncture, two parallel and diverse lives of Helen emerge concurrently. In the path where she misses the train, she never finds out that Gerry is cheating on her. In the second path she meets a suitor named James on board, discovers that Gerry is cheating, and dumps him for James. We see both paths weave through Helen's time line with an ongoing suspicious relationship with Gerry on one hand, and a developing relationship with James on the other. Both paths reach a climax at the same physical location, a hospital, with two completely different outcomes. I like this movie because it is an easy to digest dramatization of what in the spiritual world is referred to as controlling one's reality based on how one reacts. Helen could have not gotten fired in which case the two scenarios in the movie would be insignificant. I applaud this movie for tackling a much discussed and pondered subject of multi-dimensional and possible life outcomes that could play out depending on how we react to circumstances.

Fortune_Sparkles I liked this movie. I don't know why people are so critical of this movie. I've seen far worse. Gwyneth Paltrow is the main character so you know it can't be that bad. It's a story about fate and how things can change with a turn of fate. The acting and camera work were all good. I enjoyed the story and felt it made good time. Nothing was drawn out to long. All the scenes made sense. All in all it was a good story. It is a romantic, comedy , drama and that is exactly what it delivers. If you don't like that genre then you won't like this film. I didn't find it clich'e. Yes, it was somewhat predictable but If you've lived a little not to much can or will surprise you. It's a good film.

Sohaib Rashid The film depicts quite well how are lives are shaped by the small small actions we take in our daily routine. The two parallel lives of the leading lady is very well shown. Gwyneth Paltrow is brilliant in this film one of those rare actresses who is not only beautiful but can act as well, equally at ease portraying sexy character or the pretty girl next door!! Her best friend is good too as for John Lych he really makes you pity his character and John Hannah though annoys you a bit with his very thick accent but was good overall though not perfect casting in his case.All in all this is indeed a Rom-Com with a difference, highly recommended to while away a slow night!

vincentlynch-moonoi This film could have been told along two different plot lines. Instead, they cleverly told the story along both plot lines...a sort of "what if" approach. I always give films extra points when they do something different...and this is a different kind of film. As we move back and forth between the two possible plot lines, sometimes it gets just a little confusing...at least briefly...which plot line are we in now? But that never lasts long.This is also very much a film dependent on strong performances. And there are some. I've long thought that Gwyneth Paltrow is one of those actresses who will be around for a long time; this film only bolsters that opinion. I'm not very familiar with John Hannah, but I enjoyed him a lot in this film. John Lynch (who shares my last name) stutters around too much in this film, but I suspect that was the way he was directed to act; I did laugh when Paltrow accuses him of acting like Woody Allen. Jeanne Tripplehorn comes across as a total (fill in the blank) here; nasty roles can be juicy, but I tire of an actor when he or she often plays the villain. The rest of the cast here are truly just supporting actors...important to film, but none stand out. You'll focus on the 3 primary characters...and they each have a lot of screen time since they are part of 2 different story lines.This is one film where the two endings allow you to be satisfied one way or the other.
