A LIFE LESS ORDINARY (1997)
DANNY BOYLE
Plot
Action-packed Hollywood romance from the "Trainspotting" stable, teaming Scottish stalwart Ewan McGregor with Tinseltown superbabe Cameron Diaz. McGregor, a humble cleaner at Diaz's dad's company, has "accidentally" kidnapped the boss's daughter whilst bravely standing up for his rights. Which might, you'd think, leave our Cam in quivering fear of her obviously irrational and potentially depraved captor. But, up in U.S. Heaven, a couple of angels are conspiring to spear the pair with Cupid's arrow and, sure enough, Diaz takes on that kinda vacant look of a woman in love before you can say "Och aye, the noo". A sharply-scripted feelgood film which didn't really need the divine intervention.
