He was very charming as always. They should make him cheat on her then it wouldn't be so frustrating to me. I just hate dumping someone because 'I have to find myself on my own'.
shareI agree with you on both points. Mostly because I like Scott Speedman more than Channing Tatum (less 'Im brooding, therefore I'm sexy' routine).
shareHe was a boring bitch.
shareHe was a vain snob.
shareThank you. And not only that, he didn't care a whit about what she wanted, or that her present state of mind was due to a trauma that nearly killed her. And that goes for her parents, too, especially her father.
"The wrong kid died."
My biggest problem with this flick is that for so much of the movie... that's exactly what Leo was doing as well: not caring what it might be that Paige wanted. I kept repeating over and over and over to myself "If you love her, let her go...." which he finally did... and just like that same proverb "If she loves you, she'll return...." she did. It took time, years apparently, not the original score of it being only a matter of weeks. Nobody else in this story appeared to be all that willing to do that... except maybe the parents... who let her go even longer before that... and let her go home with Leo from the hospital instead of with them, and guess what, that too, got her back to them, eventually.
The character Jeremy, however, getting dumped and going through at least two rebound relationships that he confesses to, breaks up and then decides to try to win her back... while she's still at least legally married, even if she can't remember it... what a jerk. And to make matters worse, instead of actually trying to win her back, he chooses to take a few snipe shots at her no-longer-remembered husband.
Anybody rooting for a lowdown, lousy scum like that should probably be mindful of another proverb, to be careful what you wish for....
he was scumb i was so glad when tatum pucnh him in the face
share"I kept repeating over and over and over to myself "If you love her, let her go...." "
Jeez, I kept repeating that line too as I watched him try over and over to get her to remember him.
When you have people rooting for others to cheat and break up a marriage--a once beautiful relationship at that--it becomes readily apparent why marriage today is such a joke and the divorce rate is as high as it is.

"I don't love you enough to hate you!!"
Really? People are rooting for the scumbag who was trying to manipulate his way back into his ex-fiance's life because she was suffering from amnesia?
I hate the "I have to find myself" excuse as well, but in Paige's case she was right. She didn't remember who she was and she sure as hell wasn't going to figure out who she became during those years she lost by getting back together with an ex who wanted to pretend those missing years didn't exist.
I know I'm a vampire, Snookie.
...and a family (especially a father) who wanted the same. They are her family, sure. But they could have tried to patch things up in an honorable way, not just manipulate her selfishly back into the fold. And boot her husband in the a$$ at the same time, as though he were a total outsider with no business being there.
