We don't know what happened to Patrick Marber's foursome as after an hour of swapsies we switched off. The characters were unattractive - we should've stopped when Jude Law goes onto a sex site and pretends to Clive Owen he's a filthy version of Julia Roberts; Natalie Portman is the fourth. They should've played bridge instead of 'Did you fuck him here?' etc. A shame as a great cast and director.
Marber wrote for Steve Coogan a lot, also did Notes on a Scandal - remind me not to watch that again. It was quite a talked-about theatre success, but the film received mixed reviews. Derek Malcom said 'There is something terribly cold and uninvolving about this" which would have been good to read before buying it.
