I find it hard to respect Julia...


When she picks a guy like Glenn to marry. I don't see the attraction or the nice personality. It makes me wonder why it is she wanted to marry him in the first place. It seemed like Julia was just blind to what a jerk he was.

That was always a problem with the movie for me. It's not like he had any good qualities, but on the other hand this is an Adam Sandler movie

reply

I mean, Glenn could have at least been an attractive looking guy who would act sweet to Julia and then a deuce to everyone else. But he didn't even do that. He was just an all around deuce.

reply

I agree.

Julia was just as bad as Glenn in a way that she was engaged to Glenn yet, she was pursuing Robbie behind Glenn’s back. Neither one of them were saints.

reply

I don't think she was pursuing Robbie though, she was being a friend to him especially after what happened to him with Linda. She later enjoyed his company not realizing she was falling for him.

I don't get supposed nice people who are with horrible ones either. My brother is known as a nice guy but is attracted to bishes. The one he is with now is nice though, but many of his exes were horrible horrible people.

I think Julia felt she did something wonderful and positive in order to gain respect from people like Glenn and that was probably the reason why she liked him so much, I'm glad she came to her senses and realized she was better off with Robbie than Glenn.

reply

Did you guys watch the movie? It was because he was rich and her mom wanted her to marry him because he was rich. This was brought several times.

reply

But she claims she wasn't marrying him for his money.

reply

Um her best friend goes “I’m told Robbie you’re marrying for his money”. Then Julia says “But that’s not why I’m marrying him”. Then her friend says “Then why are you?” Julia has no answer to this because she knows that’s exactly why she is.

I know several genuinely sweet women who have dated and even married jerks. I'm not sure how it happens but it does. I know a couple of very sweet guys who have married jerky women. I'm not sure what happened there either. People are strange.

Love is blind I guess....

I know a few of those myself.
