If you could live your life again, would you do it differently? That's the idea behind this slight British comedy directed by former Bread actor Peter Howitt, in which Gwyneth Paltrow plays out two different scenarios after she misses/doesn't miss a Tube train home. In one reality she finds out her boyfriend is a two-timing louse, so she leaves him and gets a cute new haircut. In her parallel world the hair is long and boring - very much like her life. Paltrow handles her English accent with ease, and she's well supported by John Hannah and John Lynch. But because her life is far more interesting in one half than the other, the movie never quite gels.

Helen, a London ad executive, is fired from her job and rushes out to catch a train, but, as she runs down, her life suddenly splits off. In one version she catches the train; in the second, she misses it. Her whole life changes in that one second, and the rest of the film depicts what happens in each scenario.
