Danny Boyles 1997 follow-up to the likes of Shallow Grave and Trainspotting probably isnt something many people saw coming. True, its a romantic comedy with some black humour and a smattering of fairly graphic violence but its still a romantic comedy. Yet again Boyle recruits Ewan McGregor to take the male lead, with the Crieff laddie this time playing a bungling kidnapper whose victim (Cameron Diaz) turns out to be considerably more assured in the field of criminality than he is. Where the less ordinary aspect apparently comes into play is the ongoing presence of a couple of angels (Delroy Lindo and Holly Hunter) charged with ensuring the squabbling pair fall in luurrrve. Heaven, you see, appears to have become a bit of a bureaucratic nightmare, and God wants results. As rom-coms go, its a decent enough time-filler and certainly its not half as bad as its often made out to be. The performances from each of the leads also including Ian Holm as Diaz moneybags father is passable, and there are enough quickly-moving set-pieces and semi-funny lines to hold onto your attention. Theres also a catchy soundtrack which includes the likes of Underworld, Beck, REM, Oasis and even Bobby Darin, though its a pity Boyle chooses to use it so obtrusively, often at the expense of audible dialogue. By far the most offensive thing about the film is McGregors rubbish mid-90s Britpop hairstyle, but then again its reassuring for the rest of us that someone looking quite so ridiculous is still capable of pulling Cameron Diaz. Even if he DOES have to kidnap her first.
