Sara

She had the most real story. Although I was definitively enthralled by the movie--it featured a lifestyle I have zero interest in participating in, but is fun to be the voyeur in seeing their lives--often the conversations and situations felt scripted. Sara felt like a real person.

Yes, she probably hammed it up for the camera, but hamming it up while exposing your soul, and showing vulnerabilities, feels more real than seeing the others trying to act cool or better than everyone else while picking up men and women for casual sex.

Yes, she was very good looking, and I admit, I have a soft spot for redheads, but her arc (albeit somewhat limited in scope) from integral member of a threeway to running sobbing after her partners wedding, gave me the most enjoyment.

Train wrecks are fun to watch, and Sara's life was a train wreck. She could have any man (or presumably, any woman) she wanted, but she had her heart set on a doofus and his soon to be bride. I can feel her pain.

Did I feel sorry for her? No, not really. She is a big girl, grown up and all, and can make her own decisions. During the final credits, we find out her eventual fate; was that fair? No, but society sucks, so it's not surprising.



Oh my gawd...I've turned into a board lurker...
