Storyline

Dito Tsintsadze's drama focuses on a loner whose life changes dramatically, when he gets to know a beautiful, but strange girl. Lukas, a young man doing "meals on wheels" instead of military service, doesn't have many friends and leads a boring life, until he meets Isabella. The fascinating girl soon becomes his best friend, but Lukas learns she has a sexual relationship to her stepfather. Thus, he is obsessed with the idea of delivering Isabella by killing the man..

Critics consensus

“A dark comedy of the low brow nature -- filled with fart and gay jokes. Even Liam Neeson and Sandra Bullock cannot save this failure.”

It's the casting of Liam Neeson as the nervous breakdown that turns the movie to asphalt

Eric Harrison

RTLos Angeles TimesJan 1, 2000

The movie is marred by an overreliance on unfunny bathroom gags.

The direction is proficient

Though it focuses on character development and interactions, with a surprisingly capable script (it’s not often that a lead deals with irritable bowels), expertly delivered by Neeson and Platt, it doesn’t move very quickly.
