I don't get what was so 'nuts' about Lila?


So she queefs, sings in the car, and has bitch fits occasionally? That's like every woman. I can bet you a million bucks, Miranda is also like that, but you don't see that because he's just met Miranda and knows nothing about her, just like Lila in the beginning. The only really nuts thing about Lila was that she didn't have a job.

And snorted coke... and was generally retarded and had no common sense. Those are just the things off the top of my head.

He wouldn't marry if wasn't for his "friend" and father. But at least he managed to get out of it.

She had 28 thousand dollars of department?

You left out some things, just like Lila left out details about herself and acted as if Eddie was supposed to know based on the vague information she gave him. A big reason he married her was because of her so-called job, so she wouldn't get transferred and then he found out it was never even a real job. She misled him before marriage and he had every right to want out.

reply

She didn't mislead him about her job. It was HIS idea to get married so she could get out of the transfer. Regardless of whether you think it's a "real" job or not, it was what she did. And it sounded like it could lead to a paid position. I'm not saying she was perfect, but she didn't try to mislead him about anything. He was the one in a rush to get married. He was the swine who takes up with another woman while he's on his honeymoon.



This will be the high point of my day; it's all downhill from here.

reply

She was a complete psycho in bed, and that didn't fit well at all with Eddie's docile behavior.

reply

She was a complete psycho in bed?

Aren't we all?

reply

Jejozi, are you serious? She obviously misled him because, well, he was misled. And she did not have a job. A job pays. Volunteer work is not a job. I will agree with you that she could have been working toward a paid position.

Also, not "HIS" idea to get married. He asked and she said yes. So, both of them are to blame for rushing into it. Finally, he fell for another girl. If he was married to the woman he wanted to be with, the whole point is moot. Do you suggest he stayed in a bad marriage and not follow every instinct he had?

reply

"she didn't try to mislead him"

Wow! Anyone that can rationalize her positions relates waaaay too much to that character. Scary.

u say vaugue info. they weren't aquinted long enough to really know each other. & getting married was much too soon.

i got that Justin Bieber please believe it

1. She lied about her job, her debt, and more
2. She was sexually abusive
3. She didn't take Eddie's advice about using sunblock, blamed him when she got a sunburn, and made immature comments like "who's side are you on, mine or the ozone's?"
4. She burned everything Eddie brought on the trip when she found out about Miranda, although to be fair, she just found out her husband cheated on her on their honeymoon. Not to mention, someone like Martin would've probably done something much worse.

Yes Lila was a psycho hose beast, but in the final third of the movie, Eddie revealed himself to be a jerk with no integrity or moral fiber whatsoever

reply

lets not forget she pissed on his back!

reply

Ok all of that aside, the bad decisions, what not she still was cute and full of life if not a bit unstable.

Of course I'm only half way through the movie.

I just would have hoped she was adopted... ya know, the mom thing but still, had he not met someone else he might have stuck it out. I would have. He gave it no time.

He was a little bit of a prude if you ask me.

reply

Only fools rush in.

I would never marry a chick I havent slept with.

reply

She was a beast in the bedroom...........

reply

Lila lied about her ex and her job....and was borderline abusive, thats not like every woman

She was an idiot who constantly made bad decisions, had a history of cocaine abuse and poor decisions, made no money, had huge debts, was terrible at maths, and was a little psycho in the bedroom. Not someone you'd want to be chained to for life.
