...disappointingly mediocre follow-up by the makers of last year's brilliant Trainspotting. The ill-paced narrative tells the story of Robert (Ewan McGregor), a recently fired janitor who unwittingly kidnaps the beautiful daughter (Cameron Diaz) of his rich ex-boss.

It perches rather uneasily atop a story in which Robert, a sweet, dim maintenance man (a woofly Ewan McGregor), replaced by a robot, decides to revenge himself on his rich, cruel boss (Ian Holm) by kidnapping the boss's daughter Celine (a sleek Cameron Diaz). She, naturally, turns out to be spoiled, smart, willful and eager to collaborate in ripping off Daddy...
