It's amazing; a movie about a toxic relationship (from both parties) and of course the film skews heavily in favor of the female when she was just as culpable as he was. She was belligerent, passive aggressive, combative, coarse and insufferable throughout the entirety of the movie, and the audience is suppose to feel sympathy for her, why, exactly? The poor man just wanted a girlfriend that didn't smoke, go out and get drunk every night, have sex with everything that moved and just be a normal person, took some responsibility for her actions and if she didn't want to willingly change for him, why did she even bother leading him on? I was actually completely on his side until the last third of the film, and if you watch this nonsense, you'll see why. But, it's crazy how some people can claim to be a "victim" when they do everything in their power to destroy everything that's good in their life and still have the audacity to blame the other person for their own failures. This is exactly why most people are perpetual Ex'es and will probably only ever be one in the end.
The older I get the more I realize that the people you attract are exactly the people you deserve. She was a promiscuous woman and he was man that wanted a wife, and you know what they say about trying to make a wife out of a street walker? Well, that's this movie in spades. He got exactly what he deserved, and so did she. In the end, this is a movie about two people that were incompatible from the jump, but allowed their hormones to override their common sense and paid the ultimate price for it. She knew she wasn't going to change for him, and he knew that her past completely ruined her future, so why did he even waste his time? I yelled at the screen in hopes that he heard me when I said, "You deserve better than her!" But of course he didn't listen which is why he ended up the way he did.
The acting was serviceable, for the most part, and some of the SFX was visually appealing, but I'm only giving this movie a 3 because the lead male actor is a stone cold fox. I literally only finished the movie because he was still in it until the end. The movie itself was an insufferable exercise in what happens when you have two guilty parties, and society consistently chooses one side over the other even though both are equally repulsive and entirely to blame in their actions.
A true waste of time, do not make the same mistake I did in watching this. You will regret it, and no, we cannot still be friends. In fact, lose my number completely.
