Overview

Young lovers in London are wrapped up in a love triangle that may not be exactly what it seems. Carmen, a beautiful Spanish woman with a tendency to lose her temper at the drop of a hat, is about to be married to Barnaby, a caring, wealthy, but slightly boring Englishman. While out with friends on her 'hen night' she encounters a stranger who suddenly sparks a passion that has been sleeping within her. As her wedding date approaches, she finds herself struggling to put this newcomer out of her mind, but his effect on her keeps growing stronger. What is it that he sees in her, and why does she feel like she's being pushed inevitably into his arms?

As much as it tries to be a smart, postmodern indie film, dot the i is pure Hollywood fluff.

Kerry Lengel, Arizona Republic
Rotten

Parkhill tries to keep new blood pulsing through the film, but the movie stalls by its third act, where he plays a trick that seems more desperate than fresh.

John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press
Rotten

Take a long, hard look at Parkhill's film, and you'll find too many i's undotted.

Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle
Rotten

While stylishly done, Parkhill's script isn't nearly as clever as he thinks it is, and the sucker punch near the end lacks, well, punch.

Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Rotten

Inflicts great pain on the audience by wringing its plot into a bruised and pulpy mass.

Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
