Yes Movie Review 2004

When She (Allen) and He (Abkarian) cross paths in London some serious sexual fireworks go off and, at first, they ignore their cultural differences--She's an Irish-American scientist trapped in a dead-end marriage to a rich politician and He's a Lebanese refugee and surgeon-turned-chef. All good things must come to an end, though, as he despises Western culture while she questions Islamic values. Tries too hard to push its post-9/11 political message, as it awkwardly uses poetic meter for dialogue.
