I have never even heard of this movie before so I just watched it on DVD and here is my review.
The movie is about a man named Wallace Avery(played by Colin Firth sporting an American accent) who hates his life,he decides to fake his own death by making out he went missing. So he goes under the new name Arthur Newman who is a professional golfer. Later he meets a troubled woman who goes by Mike aka Michalea(played by Into The Woods Emily Blunt)who left her schizophrenic sister and assumes her identity as her real name is Charlotte. So the two decide to go off on a road trip together,break into people's houses and of course have hot steamy sex while there at it.
Overall I just watched this out of the new as like I said have never even heard of this movie as I got it today. The acting I must say was great Blunt and Firth had great chemistry together and their accents were spot on as both are British. Bottom line if you like road trip movies then check it out. But to be honest I found this one very depressing,thank god it was only on for an hour and a half if it was on for longer I would have turned it off.
Out of 5 its a 2.8/5 and out of 10 its a 4/10 because of the actors for the premise its very complicated to follow and the setting is rather depressing.
