It makes no sense that the millionaire Devon didn't think of hiring a nurse to take care of her. I guess if he did think of that, there would have been no movie.
Too much, too soon, too long, too strong, too many,
to fix.
Because she wanted his time and care, not his money.
shareThere are many stories available today of millionaires who hired this and hired that and paid for this and bought that, and soon were not millionaires anymore.
shareAlso, if I were his girlfriend, I would have expressed concern about him spending time with his ex-girlfriend and asked that he pay a nurse to provide home care. In fact, I would have insisted on being the primary contact for this paid nurse, and I would have made sure she was truly cared for and back to good health so that he wouldn't have to contact her more than twice. Gotta protect my relationship, 'ya know, while looking out for the little guy.
I thought it was a good idea for her to come visit her together with her boyfriend. Presenting themselves as a couple was a good idea, but agreeing to him caring for her was not. Oh, well. As mentioned above, if everyone did the right thing, there'd be no movie.
Cute movie, though.
As previously stated.. She didn't want a nurse, she wanted HIM to repay the debt she felt she was owed.
She was obviously very bitter over the way things ended and gave him a guilt trip... He went for it, instead of hiring a nurse, because he knew that what he did wasn't "fair" and still carried guilt about it.
I, personally, would insist on being present for most of.. If not all.. Of his visits. I missed when they talked about jobs, other than Frannie being a planner, so I don't remember what Jodi did but she always seemed to be home when he got there, so she could have gone over and helped him.
Although... those that can be corrupted, are already corrupt. So he obviously wasn't 100% invested in the relationship in the first place (she hadn't even met his mother) so they were doomed already.
I over analyze movies.
That was a good analysis. I felt bad for Jodi. The set up was doomed because of Devon's cancer. That was the cause of all the trouble really! Devon probably could never be with anyone else or least not without a challenge. This movie had potential because it was interesting in that I was rooting for them all really. But I kind of wanted Devon and Jodi to end up together. But yeah once the movie revealed what was missing in the Devon/Jodie relationship they went the easy route and made the romance out of the most natural.
shareI felt a red flag go up the first time she said that she wished she had been the one there when he had cancer ... because I felt like she was making it about herself and her jealousy, not her concern for him. Then she said it again, that she "hated that it was her that got you through the cancer. I hated it."
Devon might have wanted to get away from that instead of hiring a nurse ...? (Nobody said these were perfect, well-adjusted people. ;-)
Look at him -- sittin' on that stool like he's doin' it a favor.share
