Sliding Doors

Gwenyth Paltrow's cleverly disguised acting demo reel showcases her ability to do a posh English accent.

1998's Sliding Doors is a movie about that great eternal question, "what if things were different?" We follow Paltrow's character through to parallel timelines that part when she either does or doesn't catch a train.

It costars John Hannah, who I think Americans will know best as the sidekick from those Mummy movies.

Has Rebel Wilson's satire of rom-coms "Isn't It Romantic" done too good of a job highlighting all the cliches and faults of the genre to make this movie hold up? Maybe Paltrow's own questionable ideas will make Sliding Doors difficult to digest.

So catch the train or miss it, either way, you're about to find out what Mike and Allyson thought about Sliding Doors.

If you want to let us know what you thought about Sliding Doors, or you have a romantic comedy you think we should watch, let us know.
