Wicker Park (Paul McGuigan, 2004)

4/10
Weird romance/thriller that I watched with a friend on Netflix...it jumps through a lot of hoops in trying to keep our starcrossed lovers seperate (mistaken identities, stalking, and a lot of information being withheld from the viewer until just the right moment), only to unite them inevitably in a standard Hollywood "crying together at the airport" finale. Apparently it's a remake of a French film called L'appartement which, by all accounts, did it a lot better and more coherently.
