The Film: Boyle's unofficial McGregor trilogy comes to an end with this slight romantic fantasy.
Nowhere near as edgy as Grave or Trainspotting, this finds the director and actor going Hollywood for a wacky comedy that never quite gels. It yearns to be a Coen-style romp, but just comes off as trying too hard.
The Role: Lowly cleaning bloke who is sacked and replaced by a robot. In protest, he takes his boss's daughter (Cameron Diaz) hostage. Sparks fly.
But while the chemistry between McGregor and Diaz is decent, it's also uninspired. Shame.
Tackle Out? Nada.
