Premise
A man is cheating on his wife and tells his
best friend. It is soon found that no
person in the film is perfect and the
protagonist is perhaps the most innocent
of them all.
" So...why is your hair so bleached?"
Rating:  Insulted
This is one train wreck of a movie, and I really wonder what they were trying to achieve. Adultery is
wrong, so one should kill one's spouse to spare them the pain of finding out? Best friends cheat
each other and spouses cheat each other but it is played out in a boring, 50's melodrama kind of
way. The acting is decent by Brosnan and Cooper, while Clarkson shines and McAdams just kind
of "looks pretty" (that is not her fault, but the screenplay). The plot comes full circle and nothing to
drastic happens, another mistake. I do not recommend this film because it is pointless to watch.
There is one scene involving cops and a busted taillight that seems so out of place I wanted to
write the people that made this and ask what it was supposed to mean.
