sick relationship of a sick man - NOT a love story!!

Rating: 5/10 (27 March 1999)

Ignoring my initial disgust of the usual 50+ year old man w/ the 30 yr. old woman... I hope no one thinks this is a romance! What Hunt's character does is trade a dependent child for a dependent adult. She obviously needs to feel like she's taking care of someone. Not to mention, that the other half of it is still probably gratitude over what he did for her son!!!! Did you notice how all his "compliments" to her were about how good she made HIM feel/be?? [Not to mention you can't cure obsessive/compulsive behavior with love - even with the pills he was taking that's probably not enough. Also, they seemed to imply that he was an asshole because he had this disorder - now, it may exacerbate his tendency to share them w/ people but he was obviously thinking these racist, homophobic, anti-semitic remarks - & that has nothing to do w/ a disorder!!]
