Steph... This movie was definitely weird and definitely interesting. The main character is John/Emma played wonderfully by Cillian Murphy (Batman Begins, 28 Days Later). He is a quiet and shy man that likes to keep to himself. This is mainly because he has a split personality. The other half of his personality is Emma who does his chores and cooks his food and never leaves the house. Everything changes one day when a train skips off the track and lands in John/Emma's backyard and almost hits Emma. The neighbors are all surprised that Emma is in John's backyard because they assumed that John lived alone. After meeting Emma they all just assume that she's John's wife. Things get even more complicated when Maggie (Ellen Page) a down on her luck waitress and baby momma of John's child shows up looking for help in leaving town. This movie was ok but in my opinion had one BIG flaw.....

Seriously! How dumb are these towns people!?! If they had never met John and had just seen him as a woman I could buy that they had no idea because he was passable as a chick. But this was supposed to be a small town where everyone knew each other and grew up together and it was CLEARLY Cillian Murphy in wig. WTF towns people!

So all and all, its not something to run out and watch but its not bad. Its one of those movies that makes you think.

Kris... Its like the old superman movie and TV show. You clearly see its superman, but with glasses on everyone thinks its Clark Kent. I was impressed with Cillians performance. As Steph said he was passable as a frumpy woman. Story was a kind of boring and the end was unsatisfying. Maybe check this one out if there isnt anything else to watch.
