Back when Gwyneth Paltrow was better known for her acting than her entrepreneurship, she starred in a wistful, speculative romantic comedy called Sliding Doors about a woman in a road-not-taken scenario, using the London Underground as a magical portal. One More Shot literally references Sliding Doors, just to make sure you get the connection. Director Nicholas Gifford doesn’t queeze the film into a particular box. It’s alternately funny, silly, sad, disturbing, sweet, irritating, insightful and relatable. It’s a slice of life – albeit an only-in-the-movies life. One More Shot delivers more than its premise promises.
