yeah like Sam Elliott would ever marry such a person...

Really? LOL! You must limit your choices to Disney productions, and even then, the fairy tales have more wicked characters.

What's your problem? Yeah, Grandma was initially pretty callous to her ex but then came around. The boyfriend deserved a whack in his gonzonies. She was totally devoted to her grand-daughter and even worked through to some promising measure of reconciliation with her daughter. Yeah, she was tough on her young sweetie in the first scene, but that's because every protagonist needs to have an arc of development, and she was loving at the book-end scene.

Yeah, this character was candid and expressed her anger ~ you haven't seen countless movies with men doing that?

Pig ignorant mofo.

He could have done better, and surely he would have by now.

It was clear that Karl still loved Elle. Did you see the film? How could you possibly have missed that?






Bored now.

Maybe she was sweeter when she was younger.

It's that man again!!

First of all, Sam Elliott didn't marry her, his character did. This is only a movie, not real life. Second, 45 years changes people. Sometimes, for the better; often for the worse. He obviously cared for her, as he kept her picture from their youth in his little treasure box. Third, his character was married four times, so there were at least three other wives who didn't care to stick around either. Maybe it's him?

Great-Grandpa was a Keystone Kop. I'm not quite so serious.

He's gone through four failed marriages - clearly he himself is no barrel of perfection or you'd think at least one of them would have "stuck."

And also, forty years changes everyone. Hell even a few years does, especially in a marriage. No marriage starts out the way it ends and deeply linked to that is the fact that no people beginning a marriage are the same people who end it.

Everyone starts out adoring the person for their good points and sweeping any bad points under the rug. Put them through a few rough spots in the road and not only do bad character traits grow ever more hardened but so does one's dissatisfaction with the other person's. End result is not many people are as nice as they used to be, especially in the eyes of an ex.
