'''A Life Less Ordinary''' is a 1997 romantic/black comedy film directed by Danny Boyle, written by Boyle and John Hodge. Following the international success of ''Trainspotting'', Hodge and Boyle sought to use funding from Channel 4 to make a film that would appeal to a U.S. audience, but this follow-up proved something of a mis-fire.
It stars Cameron Diaz, Ewan McGregor, Holly Hunter, and Delroy Lindo. Unusually, the film was serialised as a full-length comic strip within leading British comic 2000AD, written by then-editor David Bishop and drawn by Steve Yeowell - the first film to receive such treatment in Britain for almost a decade.

Synopsis

Two angels, O'Reilly and Jackson (Hunter and Lindo), are sent to make Robert (McGregor) and Celine (Diaz) fall in love - a literal match made in heaven.
Robert is a dreaming janitor, working for rich, spoiled, crazy Celine's father, Naville (Ian Holm). After Robert is fired, replaced with a robot, dumped by his girlfriend, and sent an eviction notice, he finally snaps and, in the course of demanding his job back from Naville, ends up kidnapping Celine, and the movie centers on the friendship and love that grows between them (and the homicide attempts they have to evade).
