The plot in this movie is somewhat obvious and very slow at times but not every movie has to rely solely on excitement and plot. This is one of those movies. Not only does McGregor play the shy guy role perfectly, the city shots provide the perfect backdrop for the entire movie (although the ending kind of ruined the setting). Another aspect of this movie that I liked was the protagonist antagonist conflict. Unlike most movies here the villain isn't the unstoppable stay-out-of-his-way-or-else villain. During the whole movie you're never certain who is going to win in the end. This helps keep things a little less predictable.
If your only judge of a good movie is the quality of the story and the flow of the plot you won't like this movie. But if you can appreciate great shots, great setting, and a pretty decent love story, this movie has what you need.
