Unique concept and plot execution, this movie offers many good points, including solid acting, a painfully effective poppy soundtrack, humor, romance, and many insights into the minds of women and the men who cheat on them.
One of the most purely pleasurable, delicious films currently available.
Sliding Doors deserves points for being original.

As long as we continue to find movies there as delightful and breezy as Sliding Doors, I'll be satisfied.
What makes the film so unique and rather thought-provoking is how it holds true to the idea of chance while at the same time subscribing to that of destiny.
Give the movie credit for being a different sort of romantic comedy, but still one has to regret the failure of imagination.
Sliding Doors is one of my favorite films so far this year. Not many pictures entertain you so thoroughly while still giving you something meaningful to ponder.
Colorful and energetic, Sliding Doors balances its two stories with such smooth dexterity that is has no problem even overlaping them occasionally, just for fun.
The viewer is easily swayed to root for one story over the other, but things don't always work out as you'd expect.
Gwyneth Paltrow is engaging as the two Helens, and I have no complaints about her performance. Pity about the screenplay.

Once the movie throws in a jolting, late-in- the-game plot twist that could have been borrowed from City of Angels, it never regains its balance.
Top CriticWith its light-hearted spirit, Sliding Doors would be a hard film to dislike. On the other hand, if you want more than Paltrow's enchanting smile, you would be advised to look elsewhere.

In the end, the movie's a clever idea and not much more.
Good solid British humor with a great cast and I can't wait for Howitt's next one.
