Liev Schreiber (X-Men Origins: Wolverine) and Jeanne Tripplehorn (Big Love) star in this funny, moving and perceptive exploration of romance and the challenges of marriage. On the cusp of their ninth anniversary, James and Nina seem to have the perfect marriage and ideal lives - an affluent life in Amsterdam, lucrative jobs and adoring friends. Yet when Nina discovers James's infidelity with a mutual friend of theirs after a long line of extramarital affairs, it's the final straw, shattering whatever illusions they've created about their relationship and leaving them separated. Heartbroken about their separation, a stroke of luck leads Nina to impersonate James's chatty travel agent on the phone, and he's soon pouring his heart out and unwittingly falling for his wife all over again as they discuss the uncertainty of love and the eternal misunderstanding between men and women.

Nina sacrifices her own life for her husband James, but when she discovers that he is cheating on her, and quite often, she decides it's time for a change. However, ending such a long relationship is not easy. And so, even though she leaves, she can't forget. And she calls him. She adds a Dutch accent to her voice (they live in the Netherlands) and he doesn't recognize her. They understand each other incredibly well over the phone. It's a pretty good idea with pleasant actors, but unfortunately, overall, it doesn't really stand out. And I've seen quite a few of these romances lately. It's almost a shame about the ending. Maybe it could have had a more classic approach after all.
