did roxy annoy the hell out of anyone else??
I found Roxy's character really infuriating and unsympathetic in both the book and the movie.
As far as the movie goes, did anyone else find her obnoxious and spoiled?
She particularly annoyed me in these scenes:
1) when she and her mother in law and isabel are having tea and she tells her mother in law (suzanne) that she "might not want to bring a child into a broken home" and then later on isabel said she didn't know roxy was thinking of not keeping the baby and roxy said "of COURSE i'm keeping it" ah, it just irritated me.
2) when roxy and charles-henri are meeting with the french lawyer and roxy goes I OPPOSE DIVORCE! ON PRINCIPLE! and just her general refusal to give in to the divorce was annoying.
3) when she meets charles-henri on the bench in a park and he tells her she might not be able to keep his name but that the children would and she goes "I HAVE TO HAVE THE SAME NAME AS MY CHILDREN."
good god why??? who cares????
4) in that same scene on the bench when charles-henri asks her if she had a test to see what gender the baby is and she goes "no i would NEVER do that! it's like peeking at your presents before christmas" ahhhhhhhh
5) during the scene where they have lunch at the fancy restaurant with their parents and roxy's lawyer and roxy says in sort of disbelief "i even thought of getting a job!" my god, how spoiled IS she?
6) the suicide thing. c'mon lady, you do NOT have it that bad. TONS of people get divorced every freaking day. and besides, your husband's a whiny jerk anyway, you're gorgeous and can get any other guy you want, you have all the money in the world, a young daughter AND a baby on the way who you supposedly couldn't fathom aborting.
just had to get that off my chest.
i did like isabel. she was cool.... didn't like the haircut or the cheesy red nails though.
