  Birthday - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Birthday celebrations were rare during the Middle Ages, but saw a resurgence with the advent of the Reformation.
Except in the case of young children, it is also very common for the "birthday boy" or "birthday girl" to cut the initial piece of the cake like the couple does with a wedding cake.
The birthdays of historically significant people, like Jesus Christ, the Prophet Muhammad, or the father of the fatherland, are often commemorated by an official holiday, some saints are remembered by a liturgical feast (sometimes on a presumed birthday).

 Review: Birthday Girl   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Kidman had already made Birthday Girl when her star began its spectacular ascent, but the wily marketing folks at Miramax Films waited for it to reach its zenith before capitalizing on it.
Birthday Girl tries (thankfully) to be a little more ambitious than the average romantic comedy, but, for the most part the thriller/caper aspects are less than impressive and not terribly interesting.
Birthday Girl is passable entertainment, but it's the kind of motion picture that won't make much of a splash when it's released, and will not be remembered long afterwards.

 Birthday Girl (2002): Nicole Kidman, Ben Chaplin, Vincent Cassel, and
Miramax, hoping to capitalize on her recent critical appeal has released Birthday Girl early this new year with ad campaigns toting the performance of Kidman.
So it's really a toss-up as to whether the script is to blame or the director - for ultimately it was his decision to keep on filming Kidman in her most raw and vulnerable state.
Birthday Girl is a fun and entertaining film, despite being a bit slow at times.

 Movies: Cincinnati.Com
Sly, sexy and drenched in deadpan humor, Birthday Girl shows why Nicole Kidman suddenly has emerged as It Girl of the silver screen.
Chaplin matches her step for step, as a victim of sometime near-catatonic repression scrambling to respond when events spin-kick him straight out of his comfort zone.
As a quasi-caper flick, Birthday Girl also masters the challenge of keeping things interesting to the end.

Birthday Girl is an extraordinary film - and yet more proof that Nicole Kidman is the greatest actress of our generation (at least until Jodie Foster makes a comeback).

Birthday Girl has many issues and messages throughout the movie that could have sidetracked the audience and taken them into a direction that would have served little purpose except to maybe gratify the obsessive compulsive person's desire to neatly compartmentalize, categorize and label each individual for for further analysis.
The Birthday Girl seems to try for something darker than it actually becomes and it looks like all the actors are just moonlighting.
The problem with BIRTHDAY GIRL is how it sanitizes a criminal, and tries to make us think "Oh, well, now she's changed, she's not so bad after all." Never mind the fact of how many lives she's ruined, and how she leads Ben Chaplin's character into robbing his bank, and basically ruining his life.

 Birthday Girl the film with Nicole Kidman
After her glamorous part in Moulin Rouge and her elegant look in The Others, Nicole Kidman plays a totally unglamorous part in Birthday Girl, proving once more that she can be physically transformed and transform herself in almost any character.
Her Oscar nominated performance in The Hours is a further testimony to the fact that she has become the world's most versatile actress (probably only matched by Meryl Streep).

 Wicked 'Birthday' / Kidman funny as Russian mail-order bride
"Birthday Girl" also benefits from being set in England.
Their one place of tangible communication is the bedroom, and the movie -- not without comedy -- shows how the passionate sex soon translates into a tenderness of interaction in their clothed hours.
When two of Nadia's Russian cousins, Yuri and Alexei, unexpectedly show up at John's door to celebrate her birthday, a series of complications arise, which are best kept as a surprise.

 Birthday Girl
When she arrives she pretends to not speak English and each time that John is ready to send her packing, she turns up the sex machine an extra notch, and he thinks with the brain in the external organ hanging between his legs rather than the one on top of his neck.
John buys Nadia a dictionary to translate Russian words to English and by her birthday, she can say the word well enough to merit a cake with candles.
The plot is hard to take because it tries to be serious on some matters that have you saying "come on" right before something humorous is done which means you are almost ready to laugh but not quite.

 Birthday Girl at DVDwolf.com
Synopsis: In Birthday Girl, Nicole Kidman plays a mail-order (e-mail, that is) Russian bride whose marriage to a staunch English banker (Ben Chaplin) has been arranged over the Internet.
When one of them becomes violent and threatens to destroy Nadia's looks John is forced into some actions one would not expect from such a quiet, simple man. He must rob his own bank...a surprisingly believable scenario although at first seems to raise an eyebrow.
However, they would not have built to the slightly 'false' ending that makes up Birthday Girl.
