Conned...Really?

I know some people say "This is the WORST movie I have ever seen!"
The only problem is, this is actually the WORST movie I have ever seen!

If these characters were portrayed in true light it should have never continued past the wedding.
If not, it should have never continued past the wedding.

Are you people retarded (either characters or writers, who knows)?

What wife (especially from money) doesn't question the lack of ANY family members from the Groom's side showing?

Really.
If she fell for THAT, she SHOULD loose the child.

In conclusion, I started watching this movie, instead, I placed water on the stove to watch it boil.
Shortly, it froze, becoming lime sherbet and butterflies, and flew off onto the sunset...
a far more realistic ending than this movie had to offer.

I bet you guys find the story of a rather large liner sinking after hitting an iceberg unbelievable as well. It must have been writers...

Agreed, imdb-7644. Does the OP realize this is actually based on a true story, and not only that, but one that just happened a couple of years ago? Very intelligent people do extremely irrational things when it comes to emotions and feelings of love. Clearly the mother, a Stanford and Harvard grad, was intelligent. If those accomplishments aren't enough proof, consider the fact that she was pulling down $2 million per year in salary as a senior executive at a global management consulting firm. You don't get paid that kind of money in that line of work without significant accomplishments.

If you want to slam the writing and acting, go right ahead. But as far as someone having a cute or even silly nickname for their young daughter, you must be kidding. I think it's safe to say most parents do this--even wealthy ones.

The real-life Sandra Boss *knew* that "Clark" was fake. She benefited directly from the con: having the Rockefeller name surely helped her career along; she went up the ranks at McKenzie way too fast. Clients must have been delighted to be served by a Rockefeller.

She must have known something was rotten, but said nothing b/c it served her ego. And her lucrative career. She knew what was going on.
