John Hannah, the male lead, has such a hideously droning and irritating accent, that it's impossible to enjoy this movie to its full. He spoils every scene he's in with his excruciating delivery, ridiculous pronunciation, and extreme accent. Is he from... Full review

I love this movie! It ask that question, "What would have happen if..." and does two interesting stories intersecting to become a fascinating movie. Gyneth Paltrow is terrific with a believable British accent and she is a true talent. The London... Full review

I think Gwyneth's level of preparation for the film was much greater than mine from the point of view of where she was in the two stories. In his latest film, Sliding Doors, he recites Monty Python and exchanges passionate embraces with Gwyneth Paltrow. ... Full Review

So the romantic fantasy "Sliding Doors" is definitely pushing its point by giving us Gwyneth Paltrow, especially when she's using an English accent that's almost as bad as DiCaprio's surfer-dude-gone-French affectations. The film also has some serious chemistry problems. ... Full Review

McFerran tears into this part with relish; his performance becomes one of the most memorable aspects of a top-notch comedy. On one level, for viewers who enjoy pondering the workings of fate, Sliding Doors can be viewed as a deep and wonderful experience. ... Full Review

TotalFilm
Yet despite its many faults, Sliding Doors lingers in the mind long after the closing credits, and, at the very least it makes Howitts writing future look impressively bright. It falls far wide of brilliance, but does manage to remain engaging, mainly thanks to Howitts superb script and winning performances from Paltrow and Hannah. ... Full Review
