A movie released in 2001, "Birthday girl" seems more actual nowadays, given the difficulty for grown-up people to connect one another, with the need to use social networks to have a date, find a mate or get whatever they want... probably ten years ago this habit was not so widespread... however, this movie starts as a light comedy and moves towards a fast-paced crime movie, with suspense, and some romance as well. The movie gets to entertain with an engaging plot, and well-rounded characters, well interpreted by a good cast. Predictable ending? Maybe, but we expect it. Beware of web love connections? Maybe, i do not refuse these ways to make new acquaintances, although my limited experience with a guy living in a chat taught me that real life is a little different form virtual life, fortunately... and that knowing a person requires something more than a net connection, and the end of the movie seems to support this simple but not so practiced matter of fact. On the whole, a lively watchable product.
