i be really disappointed with this movie . it be a hodge podge script short on character development and long on unbelievable plot point . some and but by no mean all and of the problem i have with the movie representin the opening scene of the movie suicidal sarah be stand on what and we find out later and be suppose to be the empire state building . tribesman in papua new guinea would know that wasn not the empire state . why bother with the pretense . sam supposedly the love of sarah life . she go for 7 year and never hear he give up on her and marry someone else . telephone do not work between nyc and scotland and no email and no snail mail . in what i imagine be suppose to be a desperate attempt to tie sam to her and charlotte suggest they have a child . his response be to humiliate her in front of their restaurant staff and customer . the scene then devolve into an even more embarrassing fight between the character amid rather perplexed diner . in the next scene she offer him opera ticket . a if it be a minor disagreement and the fault be mostly hers . he off with another woman and she try to woo him back . she should have take a cue from the jude character and cop it asap and escape this movie . what with that ramshackle stone cottage sarah keep end up in . couldn not there have be a line or two about it previous connection to any of the character . sure it a semi romantic location for sam and sarah obligatory sexual reunion but i keep wonder about how much it rain in scotland and gee and that an awfully big hole in that roof . hey and suspension of disbelief only go so far . sarah suppose to have have this wonderful life and be such a terrific person . some vague reference to her success in nyc and some incredibly bitchy behavior and she a great gal . what a loss to humanity . at the end of the movie my sympathy be with most of the actor and what a waste of talent . if this have be my first gerard butler movie i would have suggest he switch to a career in male modeling . fortunately and i would see mr. butler in good vehicle prior to view this mess . one real worry be that the director of this disaster have be list a the director of burn and should that project ever get off the ground . if it do one hop they find a good director .
