Good story, Not enough for a whole film

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

The Original Intention Of This Was To Sell BMW's. I Usually Hate Car Ads, They Always Use The Same Selling Point "The New Holden For Only 14,990!" It Gets Tiring. THIS On The Other Hand Actually Had Me Wanting To Buy BMW's And Hang Around Outside Hotels Where Pop Stars I Don't Like Are Staying(If Any Pop Stars Are Reading This: If You Want To Be Safe Stay In The Limo And Don't Ask Someone Else To Take You, That Someone Could Be ME!) The Simple Plot Is That Madonna Is Yet To Turn Up To A Gig And Out Of The Blue She Asks Clive Owen To Drive Her, Only One Problem, Clive Owen Thinks She Is A Real Pain. He Drives Incredibly Fast To The Performance To Make Sure Madonna's Manager And Bodyguard Can't Get There First And By The End Madonna Falls Out Of The Car With Spilled Coffee Down The Front Of Her Pants And Smeared Makeup And The Paparazzi As Witnesses.There Are Numerous Funny Parts To This Short, I Have Revealed To You Some Of Them Already. I Suggest You Find It Somewhere And Watch It, You Won't Be Disappointed.

In 2001 and 2002, BMW sponsored a series of 8 films all with the common theme that a BMW was prominently featured in it....and, of all things, Clive Owen starred in each one. For this odd experiment, some of the top directors in the world were somehow obtained--including John Woo, Ang Lee and even the great veteran director John Frankenheimer. While I don't think you'd consider Guy Richie a great director (mostly because his track record is still pretty short AND because he made "Swept Away"), I do think he showed greatness with this short film. Imagine....Richie made a film I liked more than one of my heroes, John Frankenheimer--and I really, really liked the Frankenheimer short.This film stars Richie's wife at the time, Madonna. Now I am not sure how much of this is the real Madonna and how much is just a fun parody--I certainly don't know the lady and can't comment on what she's like off stage! I hope this film is her way at poking fun of herself and celebrities! Regardless, it's a dandy film.It begins with Madonna (who is never mentioned by name, but she plays a mega-music star) getting ready to be driven to her next performance. In the process, she treats her employees like dirt and her attitude is contemptible. She truly is a horrid person in this film. However, what she doesn't know is that she's about to ride in a BMW M3--one of the hottest sports sedans in the world. My wife has a car with the same sports package and engine--and it is a rocket (this is NOT an ad for BMW, by the way--I like my non-German minivan, thank you very much!). But it's important to the story as the driver gets to use this car to teach this spoiled brat a little bit of humility!! Exquisitely acted, constructed and filmed--this is one impressive short film and I guess I have to give Richie another try--just NOT his "Sherlock Holmes" (as I am Holmes purist).

I bought the Dvd after seeing two of the second season films online. This is by far my favorite one of the eight. Guy Ritchie is probly one of my favorite directors and he proves his talent with this short. The humor is witty and the camera movements/angles are superb. Definately a must see... Watch it here =>

Have not had so much fun in less than 7 minutes...Wondering that Madonna accepted to participate in this movie...But great and surprising...Tien
