Nevertheless, the only reasons Shrew works in the end...


1. Rufus Sewell (even as a male chauvinist, he's irresistibly cuddly; you simply must forgive even the "graver peccadilloes" ;o))

2. His overbearing character immediately follows up with an offer to make breakfast.

And take care of the kids.


On any other level, it doesn't make much sense, really. But oh, what glorious fun it is!

The best part of all for me was her snarling "Get it over with!" and him confounding her expectations and ours -- pulling up his pants and leaving her with a massive case of "epididymal hypertension" (aka blue balls). Lovable sadist indeed!

that and shirley henderson deliberately overdoing the snarling - a cartoony 'shrew' is easier to bond with than a genuine b*tch.
