Was anyone else angry...


I liked the movie a lot, ryan reynolds was awesome in it, but i dont know, its just that the wife pissed me off, i would have left that cheating whore, but the thing that pisses me off, is that everyone is happy at the end like nothing even happened, idk, i just didn't like that part of the movie, does anyone else feel the same?

Technically, she didn't cheat. She hooked up with buddy at that party he mentioned at the new years party so that was before they were married. She even admits that. She WAS faithful to Ryan Reynolds while they were married. But yeah, she did irritate me. She didn't put out much effort in proving her love, at least. And you could just feel how Ryan Reynolds got his heart ripped out with the situation. Just proves how great an actor he is. I especially liked the part when the doctor broke the news to him. It's as if I really felt what he was feeling.

were all alone now.. i need something to sing about..

Quoted for truth, technically she didn't cheat but she could have done more to prove her love for Ryan Reynolds. I felt so terrible for RR, terrific acting btw.

Agreed. Ryan did a great job, but Emily deff could have done better IMO

I was really, really annoyed by the catalyst incident- he comes home and she just tells him to get out, isn't willing to listen to anything he says, and is instantly convinced of the absolute worst case scenario. What the hell kind of marriage is that? I understand her being upset and thinking the worst is possible, but if they had any kind of healthy relationship, she should trust and love him enough to allow for the possibility of an explanation. It's not like the woman on the phone thing could possibly tie into the baby thing, why didn't that set off any "wait, what?" signals in her brain?

I was even more angry when the movie never lets it come up again. She's sorry that Jesse isn't his, the fact that she threw him out when he was totally innocent and she was throwing wild assumptions around doesn't even register. I couldn't go with the movie based on this alone. Ruins it for me. It's such a childish rom-com convention that the conflict would never have arisen if people just acted like adults/talked to each other and I hate it.

after seeing it i thought the exact same thing, women can do whatever, assume aanything and still get away with it,

Emily Mortimer's character was so badly written. There was NO trust in their relationship. She immediately thought he was cheating because of that hospital call? Absolutely ludicrous.
