Her personal life may be in trouble, but, professionally, Nicole Kidman has never been hotter. With a pair of high-profile features 2001 (Moulin Rouge, The Others) on her resume, Kidman stepped from the shadow of her former husband’s attention, and let it shine directly on the flaming red underlines. Kidman has made birthday girl, beginning when she Star impressive recovery, but the wily marketing guys at Miramax Films waited for it to reach its peak before capitalizing on it. Do Kidman as a candidate for the Oscar-adding starts and lackluster sophomore feature Jez Butterworth rolls in theaters. In a romantic comedy not a lot, but it is Kidman.

Birthday Girl stars sad-eyed Ben Chaplin as John, a lonely bank clerk who yearns for female company, but I can not find the right woman. With takoe’00 with the guy do? Go to the Internet, of course. The website, entitled “From Russia with Love”, it considers it an ideal wife - Nadia (Kidman), who’s smart, pretty, and spoke perfect English. However, when he takes her work at the airport, he discovers that her online bio, is not 100% accurate - she could not speak a word of John language. After a rocky start, the better. Spouses are still unable to communicate in words, but Nadia shows some porno magazines John hid in his house, and puts on some of his kinky fantasies. But the bliss only lasts until the arrival in Nadi cousins (Vincent Cassel and Mathieu Kassovitz), which quickly turn John lives turned upside down, as soon as he learns that the horse.

Birthday Girl tries (fortunately), which will be a little more ambitious than the average romantic comedy, but for the most part thriller / caper aspects of the less impressive, and not very interesting. Romantic interludes, in spite of the fact that little bland were more convincing that the scenes with Kassel and Kassovitz (French film director hatred, which starred Kassel). Chaplin and Kidman beautiful in themselves, but they did not strike many sparks. Everyone expects romantic froth from the Moulin Rouge or restrained geniality Truth About Cats and dogs will be disappointed.

I think the main problem with the birth of girls is that, while he does not do anything radically wrong, it does not do anything radically right either. It has some humor, some action, some romance, but not enough of any of these elements that really interest to provoke audiences. Furthermore, in various aspects, rather than in combination with another. The tone is uneven, veering far from the camp to the stark brutality. Birthday girls is passable entertainment, but it is a kind of proposal that the picture would not make much of a surge when they are released, and will not be remembered long after.
