short version: 0 of 5 stars
longer version: This movie has an excellent cast that is never used to any potential. This is the story of a psychotic woman in need of some serious counseling and the poor bastard that gets caught up in her bullshit. There are approximately 15 seconds of comedy in the entire movie; for the rest of the film if you must watch it bring some advil. Or whiskey. The filmakers claim to have attempted to make a movie balanced between his point of view and hers, but if they think this movie is in any way balanced it is clear that they've been completely taken up in the modern "women are always right, men are always wrong" mentality fostered by the Pussocracy. No laughs, no drama, no action, no intelligent commentary, and no stars: 0 out of 5.
the break-up
I also give it a low number. The previews, where bits are taken out of context, were much funnier than the movie. Definately some stuff that made me laugh. But over all, my reaction was "What?". I don't know who's point of view they were catering to, man or woman. I'm not really sure what they were trying to show.
One of the (many) things that really chapped my ass was her whole attitude about how she had done so much for their relationship because she was always cooking and cleaning. Bullshit. He didn't give a damn about the cleaning and would be just fine always eating out. That wasn't her doing things for them, that was doing things <i>she</i> wanted to do. Yet somehow she thinks this scores her major points while him doing the things he wants to do makes him an asshole.
I was very dissappointed that he (the character) as well as the filmmakers didn't call her on that crap. They called him on all his crap, but they let her slide on pretty much everything. Bah.

Reminds me of my first ex-wife. She'd always spend a lot of time picking out gifts for me. Really put a lot of time in the process. Only problem was that she always got me things that she wished I'd like instead of things I'd actually like. God bless her. She hadn't a clue.TPRJones wrote:One of the (many) things that really chapped my ass was her whole attitude about how she had done so much for their relationship because she was always cooking and cleaning.

A simple blowjob would have been great.

I saw it as both of their faults equally. Neither of them cared enough to change for the other. They just weren't a good couple. I didn't think that she was getting a better reprsentation than him. She wanted him to want to do the dishes and he wanted a pool table and she would let him. I thought it all balance out actually. And it boiled down to the fact that they were both too stuborn to change for the other person.
I just REALLY wish they had made it to that conclusion with more humor and entertainment. Watching Vince in this film was like watching Bog Sagget on America's Funniest Videos.

I said, "You like sleeping in a made bed, not me. I could sleep in an unmade one just fine."
"True."
So then she just gave me a blowjob. :p
It's not me, it's someone else.
