Underwhelmed

Rating: 5/10 (29 January 2006)

Saw this movie for the first time today.
Sorry, I appreciate a good romance as well as the next person but the characters need to be sympathetic. Cheating on a spouse only elicits scorn, not sympathy. Once you add infidelity to the mix all bets are off as far as romance is concerned. The Julie Christy character reminds me of the C&W song title: "If you want to keep the beer cold put it next to my ex-wife's heart". She was a cold fish.
My take: spineless weasel fore sakes family to bone tart while pregnant wife and child toil in garden, croaks in street at end of movie while lusting after tail, indifferent to whereabouts of wife, son and daughter.
Also, is there anyone here who does not fast forward through the overture?
