It's wrong and it will always be wrong


Some women will love this kind of movie. All men will hate this kind of movie.

I've seen women who think it's romantic to be sweep off their feet by someone other than their husband. And you know what they're called in real life? CHEATERS.

And any man who try this kind of nonsense to break up a marriage? It's called home-wreaking, stalking and people who does this usually get shot, thrown in jail or served a restraining order.

This romanticized idea of stalking and cheating is disgusting. This is what's wrong with society today...to even think such an idea is acceptable. Yes, you can tell me it's a movie, but it doesn't make the idea any less disgusting.

Yes, it immediately crossed my mind as well, the lead characters represent all sorts of possible wrongs relationshipwise, from stalking and cheating to the wrecking of relationships.

The script as well as the production probably are good reflections of the folks behind the scenes, the entire thing screams true lack of class.

You bacicly sum up my thoughts about this movie as well.
What i realy couldent understand was, we're suposed to root for this guy ??
He's a freeking obsesed stalker !
And he commits numerous crimes during the course of the movie, and we're suposed to like him ??

I could never understand why his friends helped him.
I would just say: Dude, she's Married !!

Cant belive how much her husband actualy put up with....

So no, this movie is simply idiotic !

reply

Because no one makes mistakes when it come to marriages huh?
It is clear right from the start that the woman in question does not fit the guy she is married to. Only she is not aware of this at the time she marries. Also there is something like dramatic license. If you don't get this then you have no business watching movies. Better stick to Dr. Phil.

There's dramatic licence and there dramatic licence...
The way the so called hero in this movie acts.
In most movies he would be the crazy serial killer type.
You wouldent have to change a single thing about how he acts to make this a thriller instead.
Just that it ends with him killer the woman instead of her falling in love with him for some strange reason.

reply

You don't get it.
First of all, this kind of "championing" adultery and cheating is something that is pervasive in much of what alleges to be entertainment today.
Secondly, you say she made a mistake but didn't realize it until after she was married to him ... ok fine, that's her fracking problem and stupidity, but we're still faced with the idea being presented here that stealing her away is somehow admirable.
Thirdly, the OP is absolutely correct in his assessment ... and I'm a bit surprised that someone had the courage to do it, because as we see in your response to him, insult and ad hominem is the usual response.

What really gets me about the people who excuse this kind of BS as dramatic license, are the same ones that would be all offended with their knickers in a tight twist if the infidelity was aimed in the direction that a misogynist pov might provide.

Where did the "ADULTERY" take place?

reply

Yes, women are too dumb to figure this out. They need a man to tell them.

reply

All men will hate this kind of movie.


Well, that's obviously wrong. I'm a man and didn't hate it. I didn't exactly love it either; my feelings were somewhere in between. Anyway, the votes are very similar between male and female.

reply

If we are to really judge them, then she's a slut/scumbag, the guys are scumbags, one cause he used his personal connections to coerce the other to leave his wife alone and the other was a scumbag cause she said no to him and he still stalked her and did what he could to wreak havoc on her marriage.

I compare this movie to a Disney story, as in you should be superficial about it and not give much thought about what really is going on.

reply

Those people were not meant for each other, were not in love, and had no business being in a "marriage".


Marriage is a word, that is all it is. If people are not suited for each other and are not in love then marriage means absolutely nothing.

reply

Then, they shouldn't get married in the first place.

I'm a guy who liked the movie, too. Then again, I always have a soft spot for the idealistic dreamers, underdogs, and misfit "losers" of the world who follow their hearts. Gives me hope for my own dreams, which is hard to come by in this cynical, practical world. I'll always relate and have lots of empathy for those type of characters, always root them on.

As for the marriage issue, sometimes you do marry the "wrong" person. And later find someone who the signs seem to indicate is more "right". And then you're stuck. You have to make a decision. Knowing that if you risk it all and go for this new person, you still may lose. Everything. Because you might be wrong. People may label you crazy, a stalker, etc. But if you're of a more sensitive and intuitive persuasion in nature, sometimes you just have to try and be brave for the first time in your life and follow your heart. Because you tried to succeed in the "normal" world and failed. Because you're a "loser". Not that I'm projecting ;-)

And hey, if it doesn't work out, at least you only ended up cheating in your heart and not physically. So while you may end up alone, at least you'll be able to sleep better at night. Not only because you followed your heart and took a chance on something in life, whether you succeeded or failed. But because you'll know at least you weren't the kind of scumbag that physically cheats with the first available person, while you're still IN a relationship no less, and I've seen lots of people on this site advocating that behaviour and no one call them out on it. "Guys cheat with whoever's available, its just what we do." Speak for yourself. Very sexist IMO.

Don't get me wrong, its great to have morals and convictions, but don't be so quick to judge others. Maybe this is just wisdom I've gained from having lived life, I used to think in the same terms as you guys back when I was younger and more sheltered, I used to think divorce was about the worst thing ever, but life isn't always as black and white as you might think. Though I guess I'm lucky in that I never experienced divorce as a kid; maybe for those that have, I can see them being more against it.

Anyway, I recently watched a movie called Doubt (RIP Philip Seymour Hoffman) and, having wrestled with some of these same issues myself, this quote really stuck with me. Just something to think about before anyone acts self righteously and judges.

"There are people who go after your humanity, Sister, that tell you that the light in your heart is a weakness. Don't believe it. It's an old tactic of cruel people to kill kindness in the name of virtue."


"Its only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything."

Stalking is not brave. It's just creepy and illegal.

reply

I completely agree! This is romanticizing stalking! I also don't like the theme of being so persistent and wearing the woman down. It suggests that women really want it but just need to be told that. They can't make their own decisions. It's very aggressive and unattractive!!!!!

I guess it's okay if men cheat, but if women do it, omg, let's stake them and burn them.

I'm a woman and I hate this movie. I'm still watching now, but as soon as he put on a tux to meet a bride I knew exactly why his ex wrote that blog. He does suck. Going after a girl on her WEDDING DAY just because she can kick a football? (Which, imo, made her look bitchy because she kicks a child's ball over a house just because they accidentally hit her with it. Rude.) He's an *beep* Then he stalks her. This movie might have been better if he saw her on another day not knowing she was getting married and fell in love but the plot of this movie is a guy trying to ruin a marriage. It just sucks. Also, the fact that he wouldn't even read the blog makes him seem even more of an ass. He didn't even try to understand why she was upset with him. Like he didn't care about bettering himself. Especially with that book deal thing.

^^EXACTLY. Thank you!! I agree with everything you wrote. I'm a woman too, and I came on this board to see if anyone else thought this movie was as unbelievably awful as I did. I could not BELIEVE that we were meant to root for such a self-righteous, aggressive stalker. How dare he continue to bother this married woman, especially since she clearly rebuffs his advances at every turn. At first I hoped against hope that we would get an atypical rom-com ending, and the movie would end with the girl rejecting him for being such a complete a-hole. I was ticked off once I realized that the movie was going in the predictable direction, but once I saw that she was a jerk for giving him false hope then dumping him (and not telling him to eff off like a hundred times!!), I kind of hoped they'd end up together because those two jerks deserve each other.

(Which, imo, made her look bitchy because she kicks a child's ball over a house just because they accidentally hit her with it. Rude.)

^^This. I can't describe how much I agree with this statement.

It was rough, but I finished the whole movie. Mostly because I don't like to criticize/critique any work unless I've fully experienced it. Not sure this was worth it though!

I was starting to think I was the only one to notice that!
