The idea behind this movie isn't that bad, but Cameron Diaz overacts it completely. She isn't the right person to play a family mother who got moralic problems with making 1 million per sinful decision. It gets very bad at the end when the only thing you hear is her crying for minutes. As I said: Good idea, but a little more deepness and less overacting would have been nice.

The opening 10 minutes are great. I thought this was going to be a really interesting psychological thriller. It quickly descends into farce, and has undoubtedly the worst plot I've ever seen from a movie. So bad, I recommend you actually watch it. You won't believe your eyes.

I watched the whole film, but could not get engaged at all. One of my problems was that I could not picture Cameron Diaz, whom I love, in this role. The movie felt very slow to me. It is one of those great story ideas, that was poorly executed in film. There are some serious plot holes, but Indont want to include any spoilers.
