So was it a good anti-Valentine's film? Yes and no. It was funny, and about bad dating/relationship experiences - I think we all recognised situations from our own love life - so that was suitable. But it was also very Hollywood. Happy endings all around/love conquers all/etc etc. So that was unsuitable.
The weird thing for me was which one of the characters I "got" the most - the wife who was willing to (try to) forgive her cheating husband when he came clean out of the blue about his affair; BUT who then immediately kicked him out and filed for divorce when she caught him lying to her face about smoking.
That's so me, and I'm not sure if that is a good or bad thing. And no no no - I don't mean that I think lying about smoking is worse than cheating; or even that I would be able to forgive anyone cheating on me - I just mean that the deciding factor for me would be the lying. Everyone messes up and make mistakes - it's how you handle them that matter. Fess up, come clean, give people the choice to forgive you. I can forgive almost anything - but I find it very hard to forgive people lying to my face.
Agree/disagree?
