SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

bjarias Spoiler... maybe?? The storyline in the end really winds up not making much sense... and eventually takes down the movie. She starts off just getting her climaxes and immediately ditching all the guys as fast as possible (sex only please). Then she meets Richy-Rich, and in an instant with the kid, she gets tangled in what amounts to a full-blown 'affair' (even though he's a major a-hole!). Where after she lasciviously gets her rocks-off (quite frequently BTW), she then hangs round lounging in his arms for quite awhile longer.. cuddling, talking, in addition to all manner of chest and face sucking. But once she gets busted (finally, by the unbelievably clueless husband).. she's right back to the bar again lookin to pick up strays.. and eventually winds up in real danger. There's no denying she was fully 'relishing' her time with her new young lover during the affair... so it ain't all just a sex-addiction. She definitely wanted another relationship outside her marriage... quite deliberately she sought one out, and she got it. She was full right-on at the end when telling the husband...'it can't be forgiven.' And like the rich-kid not long before said to her..'they're all idiots'.. and hubby surely will be one if he ever does. Save the kids!.. and run with them away from her as fast as possible.

filmlover101-2 I was lucky enough recently to get my hands on the original screenplay of this film - written in English by a really imaginative English screenwriter, Lara Moon. I am thankful that I did. The script was a really a tight, pacey, dark drama with deeply drawn and complex characters. What happened in production just goes to show that you can really butcher a great script - all the fabulous subtext and subtly drawn characters and story were turned into a rather so-so sex romp.As a budding screenwriter myself, I can honestly say this is the perfect lesson for all screenwriters - we have no control over our work once we hand it over to a director and producer.Why is it also that when a film is deemed a brilliant success it is always the director who gets the high praise BUT when a film is deemed a pile of crap it is always the screenwriters fault? Well in this instance I can say for a fact that if anyone read the script they would certainly visualize a rather different film than the one that finally got produced. So here's 10 stars to Lara Moon for a fabulous script.

jutandbecs I really enjoyed this film and I agree with the reviewer who said that you can't just put in plot twists for the sake of it. The issue of addiction and its destructive power was dealt with very well and to overplay it or make it more 'sensational' would devalue the issues that were raised within the film. It was interesting to see an addiction like this from a female point of view for a change, and it was good to see a woman with a life like an advert descend into an addiction that could undo all the work she had put in to having a life that we all supposedly dream of (marriage, 2.4 kids, beautiful house, great career, plenty of money). And in this day and age of product placement, do we really care that they drove Audi cars?

janne-junnonen I disagree with the previous reviewer about the ads.. I think the product placement in this movie is done with a good taste and it's not too obvious compared to many other movies.Anyway, the movie itself could have been so much better with a better script. The movie is well-directed, actors are good and good-looking, atmosphere is fitting, and basically all the elements for a good film are there - BUT the script is totally unoriginal, predictable and boring. The screenwriter should have included some surprising twists to the plot. As it is, it resembles more a propaganda film for conservative moralists than an entertaining, fictional movie.
