I pre-ordered this movie about a month ago only because it had Franka Potente in it. Normally, I wouldn't really touch this type of film with a 10 foot pole. The impression that before I watched it was that it was more of a movie that your girlfriend would drag you to. Although I'm sure this will happen, guys can relax in knowing this is a decent film.
The acting of the three main characters was decent. I wouldn't say any of them were outstanding. Elijah Wood did an average job, nothing special. Franka Potente was the best out of all of them, but I'm probably biased. The other actors in the film were all pretty much clichéd and horrible, although I didn't mind the cliché's too much.
They gave me something to laugh at. The attempt at humour through out the film was poor, and a monkey could have come up with half it, however I still found myself chuckling at certain points.
The plot is pretty weak. We don't really learn anything about the characters at all. All we know is they all live in the same building and that's as much background as we got.
Predictable? Well I suppose that depends on how smart you are, but yes the plot is predictable. It didn't annoy me.
I think the key to this movie is to go in expecting nothing and you'll come out happy. I had fun with this film. 7/10.
