Elliott is kind of coasting through life. He is kind of a journalist, he does press junkets, but it isn’t what he is passionate about. He is a married man, but it seems the marriage was something his wife wanted, maybe for a green card, and Elliott was a decent enough guy. Yet, with learning his wife, Allison, is under the impression they are in an...
It Started Off Interesting
At first, this movie seemed like it could be good. It had a nice comedic vibe, considering Allison did this whole, Basic Instinctthing in the doctor’s office (I think she was wearing underwear). Then you have Jocko, a masculine gay dude who is clearly in a ho phase, and then you add in Kaley. She is this girl who is cool messing around with a married man, and seems like someone Elliott could fall for.
Allison and Kaley
Though not focused on, as they should be, with these two are far more interesting stories than we get out of Elliott. For Allison, we have the story of an immigrant, from Great Britain, who met and got married to a man within a year. Why? Well, could it have been love, a green card, or did the need for a green card develop into love? If not a relationship of convenience? Also, there is the need to question with Allison, when it comes to the open marriage conversation, how did it really go, si...
But Then It Became A Drama
However, then the movie switches things up and becomes a semi-serious drama. I say semi-serious for this movie doesn’t have anything which may get you in your emotions. Yes, it is sad Elliott’s marriage is in a terrible place and this comes right when his career is tanking. But, him becoming a seriousDebbie Downer sucks away what felt like the film’s hook early on.
Elliott
Leading to the next issue: What reason do we have to invest in Elliott? Are we supposed to feel bad for him just because he is the lead? Just because he seems like a good guy? A part of me wants to say yes but I feel like the film only did so by trying to demonize Allison. Someone who, overall, wasn’t really that bad of a person. If anything, the problem is that Elliott is coasting through life and Allison got tired of it. Then with Kaley, I feel that we get to experience the early years of A...
The problem with this film is it gives us the generic male we see in a lot of shows and movies, and does absolutely nothing to bolster him. Oh, that is besides trying to use the women in the film to make you feel sympathy for him. Be it his wife, who could do better, or his mistress, who barely wants to be claimed by him. Making you anything but sy...
