BrianSez's Review
Summary - OK 2.5
A pretty good love story that uses the twist of looking at what might happen if history took its course in a slightly different way. Gwyneth Paltrow (“Helen”) decides between two suiters — one who is decidedly not good for her. The movie was good enough to keep my attention, but was mostly predictable in its approach. I think the best part about the film were the decently acted characters who added color to an otherwise no surprises story.
Acting - Good 3.0
Gwyneth Paltrow could have done this part blindfolded and John Hannah — who plays a suiter was a pleasant surprise with humorous bits and a scottish accent. I also liked Jeanne Tripplehorn who plays a woman competing for the love of one of the men who does great with a snappy take no prisoners approach.

Film - Barely OK 2.0
The “what if” scenario playing was a good and unique idea, but I don’t feel it added any value to the movie other than to provide some alternate schenes to tell the same story. The movie was otherwise fun, but perhaps too predictable.
