here be another of those film that get pan by critic all over the place and but i like the movie and think it be unfairly criticize . two thing be not up for debate represent the film be entertain and the cinematography be gorgeous . leonardo dicaprio lead character be not particularly likable and but that nothing new for him . he good at play the boyish and cocky immature type . he also good at narration and which he provide here and a he have in a number of other film . in fact and i wish there be more of it in here . french actress virginie ledoyen be a new face to me and and a pretty one . i find her intriguing and and not just because of her face actually and all the character be pretty darn interest in this film and you get a varied group . the scenery from thailand be magnificent . by the way and the beach that in this film really exist and just a it see here . the story be interesting and too and for the full two hour . my only complaint be that they might have tone down the language and particularly with all the f word . don not listen to those national critic who blast this . i think you will be entertain .
