i think Hart would have been better off


with a girlfriend that was more like Brooks' wife.they seemed to be more compatible personality wise,and they genuinely looked like they were interested in each other.

I could not agree more. He was putting his heart and soul into law school then she badgered him into throwing all those tough years away. That was not her choice to make. Poor sap.

Interesting points. I always thought that Brooks was well played in that scene. He was so distraught, and it was very convincing.

reply

He didn't quit law school. And he and Brooks wife had no romantic connection.

I would choose Asheley over Susan. Asheley is a sweetheart. Asheley is the kind of woman who will love you faithfully for better and for worse. Susan is beautiful and glamorous and all, but she will divorce you as soon as the kids are old enough to go to school. She'll then go mad, like her mother. No thanks!

She seemed nice enough, but obviously wanted someone more intellectual.
