this guy. this f-ing guy.


ok, im 30 minutes in to this film and came on here to see if anyone else hates the husband and is hoping that the creep will hold him in the basement, torture him, feed him maggoty beans, etc.

the cheating isnt the worst thing. cheating in his house when the little wifey is expected home soon really sucks. what, does he WANT her to catch him, go into shock and lose the baby?

naw, the worst thing is since this jagoff appeared on screen, he has talked to everyone as if THEY are the a$$holes and behaved as if everything asked of him is the biggest pain in the butt imaginable, i am at an utter loss to explain how he inspires love/lust/loyalty from his wife, girlfriend, or buddies.

clearly we are SUPPOSED to hate him. guess i gotta keep watching to find out why

I kinda can't stand the wife either. She's prissy, vain, and shallow. "Oh, I'm too busy to call the internet company for a booster myself - let's make your WORK assistant come to our private home and set it up!" Yeah, busy with yoga and a book club and no job??? However do I manage to work full time and pay bills all by myself???

The only likeable people were the dog and ryan's guy friend. Actually, Hannah was far more likeable than the couple. I would rather have a beer with her than them.

I'd rather have a beer with the old guy. At least I might learn something about setting up home security systems.

I just peed a little laughing so hard at your comment.

Pretty much agree with both of you. Hannah was very believable as the other woman. The wife was making the mistake many make of alienating and not physically interacting with her husband while pregnant - going on about mommy potluck and a stupid chair road trip, not f'ing him and then wondering why he's not as into her lately. I thought Hannah just wanted to ruin the dude the moment she saw Claire was pregnant. Like, Claire answers the door and... "that sonofa B lied to me - ok, game on dude, game on". Paul was holier than thou, takes one trip out of his way to help a pants-poopingly-scared friend and then decides to blow the whole thing up. Not saying the affair was right, but he went from confidant to meddling buttwipe instantly. Anyway, the main guy was the worst, but a believable analog to many, many tech/startup people I've run across. Wears a black Kevin Rose tshirt and manpurse to work and somehow is busy+senior enough to have an assistant? That he's ****ing anyway? Wonderful. But another example of how this movie got under my skin by being insidious in some purposeful and masterful ways. And that villain - one of the best in a good long while.

I just thought they were both flawed people with a troubled relationship. Even if the husband's behavior made me cringe at times.

Found the feminazi idiot. Go *beep* yourself, you waste of space.

Clearly you drank the MGTOW kool-aid. Isn't logical thinking supposed to be a masculine bent? You're failing...

I didn't understand why would he bring his fling/dip to his house.

reply

Every character in the movie was unlikable.

The pregnant s/o was pathetic and bitchy, same with her other half (the husband?).

The old man was the only one who gained slight sympathy because you could tell how pathetic he was and outcast by society.

Other than that this movie had a collage of slappable characters.

Funny how the wife over-reacted to the husband cheating when she let the old man grope her stomach and didn't even tell him about it :D

A bright light can hollow the deepest of nothingness.
