The only thing in this film that I had a problem with...

Was that Diana was quite happy to engage in a relationship of sorts with an almost-married man. She knows full well that Billy is getting married in a couple of days, yet is fine to flirt with him, admit that she likes him, ask him why he's marrying his fiancee etc. OK so his fiancee's a younger woman and - as it turns out - Billy doesn't really love her but why does that make it OK? Diana's never met the fiancee, she doesn't know anything about her and yet she's happy to encourage Billy in his attentions to her. Why? What makes Diana think she'll be anything other than his bit on the side or his last fling before he gets married?

As for Billy, I wonder about his true feelings towards Diana. As far as I could tell, his attraction to her was because she reminded him of Sophie.

"He murders his wife every night. Other than that, I think he's pretty harmless."

My biggest problem was the girl thinking it hot to sleep with a married man. I think Diana is a natural flirt, and I believe she picked up the signs that Billy wasn't really in love with his fiancee. It wasn't hard to tell, I knew from when they arrived in Vegas that Billy would break off the wedding (and end up with Diane, but was having doubts about that one because of the other friend) and I also already knew Sam wouldn't go through with cheating on his wife AND that he and his wife would spark again when he got back home (I did think something bad was up when he couldn't reach the phone though, that was a nice touch)
