I remember having watched the film. Primarily to see how well Pierce Brosnan would act. And because Toni Collette is always worth watching.
It's about four people who decide to throw themselves off a tall building in London on New Year's Eve. They all end up on the same tall building - and start talking to each other. In the end, they decide to wait and see how they feel on St Valentine's Day and on various other dates thereafter.
Well, I didn't get much out of the story. If anything. It ended on nothing and I can't remember anything that anyone else said. Maybe I was expecting too much. Maybe I wanted a neat ending. No...I did want a neat ending and I didn't get it. Which is a bit disappointing. I know life is like that - but that doesn't mean that I want it to be like that.
One thing I didn't enjoy was all the swearing. I've never understood why people feel they have to talk that way when there are such great words in the English language.
Anyway, of the four books my student lent to me, this was the one I least enjoyed.
