A Life Less Ordinary

A disappointingly mediocre follow-up by the makers of last year's brilliant Trainspotting. The ill-paced narrative tells the story of Robert (Ewan McGregor), a recently fired janitor who unwittingly kidnaps the beautiful daughter (Cameron Diaz) of his rich ex-boss. Screenwriter John Hodge attempts to freshen things up by tossing in gun-toting angels, a psychotic dentist, and some forced romantic comedy, but only manages the further muddle the plot.
