In one scene they're talking to the husband saying they're going ti have to turn off her life support because his credit cards are maxed out.... And then it keeps saying goodbye without any of her other loved ones around, and then suddenly it shows her girlfriend visiting saying he hasn't been around to visit her for nine months.
Was this just bad editing? Bad TV editing?
Horrible movie, either way. I just hate seeing glaring inconsistencies like that!
PS - I should add that I know that they used that as a plot point for why he moved on (be thought they turned the machine off), but the story must skipped straight to her being there for many more months without explanation.
Are we really supposed to believe they would turn the machine off without her friends and family there to say goodbye as well, and that they wouldn't bother letting him know they were keeping her going? (or that Medicare wouldn't step in at some point and move her to a residential care facility. It's like what happens with the elderly when they can't care for themselves. You prove you have very little money and under a certain amount of assets and Medicare foots the bill, particularly if there proof that she not braindead)
Its a horrible movie anyway, but jeez they could have come up with something a little better than that!
Yeah there's a few of parts in this movie that were just extremely RIDICULOUS. For example, a women just becomes ok with her husband's other wife(they never divorced) staying at their house with no issues whatsoever. Like c'mon! Also, the part where Jenny(the second wife) was in the hospital and Vivian said that she didn't do this on purpose when it really appears that she did. Doing crazy things such as: giving Jenny a whole bunch of salt and energy drinks, pushing her to the floor to show that Marcus was under her bed, stressing her the **** out(all while she's pregnant) which caused her to pass out and slip into a coma. The ending was pretty stupid too. Why the hell would Jenny give her baby to Marcus and Vivian as their own rather than letting her parents take her?! I wouldn't want my child anywhere near Vivian after the things she did! Viewers are really supposed to be sympathetic with Vivian but the things that she did were just plain grimy. Period!
I checked out pretty much after the scene where we see teh broad being released from the hospital and no one bothered to clean her bloody wedding dress in two years.
Why are these inept films always allowed to be made?
'When there's no more room in Hollywood, remakes shall walk the Earth.'
Bad editing mixed with a lack of common sense to know if the husband made the decision to the pull the plug, he will call loved ones and they will visit to see her "alive" for the last time. Didn't Marcus also mentioned he thought the wife died although he didn't bothered to plan a funeral, let alone a memorial? How the hell someone forgets about that?
shareIt's one of the worst films ever to get distributed and to get a TV deal.. EVER!
