The ending is indeed ludicrous. It's all very well making that sort of twist in a theatre stage show, but rewatching the movie it's impossible to believe the change of identity, unless we're to believe Depp is acting to be someone who is a great actor.. if you know what I mean.
Totally agree with 'adim88'. Yes this movie was fluff - from start to finish. But it KNEW it was. It obviously didn't take itself too seriously and i don't think the people who see it should either. It's stupid, yes. But it one of those films you can just stick on when you wanna cuddle up with your girlfriend on a Sunday night with a glass of wine. It is dumb, yes - totally agree. But it's harmless fun and it never tries to be anything more.
its Angelina Jolie in does my bum look big in this, answer yes and its amazing. and Johnny Depp simple math teacher..........or is he? also i think its ricky gervais' favourite film, might have to actually watch this now.
A good rant with some nice flappy hand action, is it more stupid as Angel and Demons? which I have not seen but DrK did say it was the stupidest film he ever saw
@jd899 I'm guessing not. Angels and Demons manages the neat trick of actually being dumber than Christianity. I suppose one could argue there's a real sense of achievement there.
0:57 - So you clever guys across the pond never use a singular mass noun to describe something as a whole? That means if I were to go to the BBC Sport section they would only cover 1 sport, right?
Couldn't be bothered to watch the film, but this is a great review. Apparently Depp plays a math teacher.
Sorry, Dave, I know it's been a minute, but does Depp only teach the one math? I can't be bothered to watch it either.
I have no idea why, but Mayo saying at the end of the clip “Is that the train in the background” makes me laugh hard.

I really liked this film and I find it such a guilty pleasure to watch
Kermode didn't even mention Paul Bettany, is he feeling OK?
Is Johnny Depp a math teacher?
Simon Mayo does a great impression of a guy who doesnt wanna be there

When I watched Anthony Zimmer I didn't see the twist coming either.
@mrpossibilities cos its a radio show?

@SpeedFreakNO Its the Exorcist.
also- the movie is just fun fluff. nothing to get too serious about. really got unfairly bashed by critics.
Ah screw it, I quite enjoyed it.
what does he mean: gentleman in the tenement??
Kaledius it’s a play on repeatedly mispronouncing “denouement”
@qwertyuiopdan1 No, Mark was saying the misogynist attitudes about Angelina Jolie were a good representation of the film, which he didn't like.
Yea
The Tourist wasn't very good. Not terrible but too complicated and did not live up to the "dream pairing" of Jolie and Depp!
I loved it
It was excruciatingly boring, I couldn't finish watching it, never have I seen two more moribund movie stars on the screen.
@BRm2008 I dont think she is artsy at all. I think she is overrated.
watch the original, it was so much more convincing.
I did. And no, it isn't.
it was a bad film but i liked it.
I liked the film. I’ve seen it a good few times.
Also a quick word to Mark: “stupider” is not a word.
I think he said it ironically
Johnny Depp is overrated.
horrible film...
The film’s poorly acted, poorly written, poorly directed, unfocused, dull, lifeless & is A predictable thriller. (18%) (1/5 stars) (negative)
Seems boring.
Totally disagree. I enjoyed the Tourist a lot. Jolie never looks more beautiful. Deep is funny and awkward. Romantic too. Beautiful music. Thumbs up 👍
Woeful film.
I hated that movie
I did'nt rate the lives of others.
he films total sh.... spent 30m watching this junk. time is precious..what a waste.

Mathematics or Mathematic?
critics are so full of themselves. audiences obviously loved the movie- $250m worldwide and counting.
Just because they went to see it doesn't mean they enjoyed it or it was any good. Dreadful film.
