Does anyone feel sorry for Wendy?


I love the film but when watching, I feel sorry for Wendy.
She obviously really cares for Louden and it was just a really sad scene in my opinion when Louden left her at the altar.
He could have just told her before he didn't want to marry her instead of doing it like that.
I just felt sorry that Wendy had to have her entire wedding wrecked by first her groom dumping her, her father getting arrested, and a whole bunch of strangers rushing in and eating the cake.

Nah, I didn't feel sorry for her at all. I don't think she cared for Louden. To me she seemed like a self absorbed spoiled brat. I haven't watched the film in awhile, but wasn't she all over that Buck guy at the end right after she was dumped? Doesn't seem like someone who is heartbroken would react that way so quickly.

I believe Wendy was afraid to be alone. And she did care for Louden. She was always kissing him and calling him "darling" and she never left him alone.
She also was physically attracted to Buck.
Some girls react differently when dumped. Some, out of fear, of being alone, rush to other guys.
I felt also sorry for Wendy because her father was arrested at her own wedding.
Man, that's gotta suck!

I didn't feel bad for her... she was a slut. Almost EVERY man in the movie was with her. Remember the 3 cabbies who "had her in the cab once". They don't mean they took her for a ride, they mean SHE was the ride! lol She was a flake, too! I think she cared for Louden for about 2 seconds, but it wasn't hard for her to move on. I felt bad for Nikki Finn when she and Louden said goodbye.

Raoul wasn't with her. Benny wasn't with her. (Ironically although Raoul worked with her father, He still held a knife to Wendy's neck.)
The detectives weren't with her. The man at the jewelery shop wasn't with her. (He was gay. I doubt he'd be interested.)
The only implication of men Wendy had been with were the cabdrivers.

Hell no I don't feel sorry for her! She was a selfish spoiled brainless brat who screwed every cab driver in the city!

No lol. She was totally shallow.
