i was surprised

Rating: Null/10 (23 July 2001)

THERE ARE SPOILERS IN THIS
i rented this movie only because a friend of mine had said that he liked it. i thought that it would be a bit silly because all of the hype around it had to do with the "show me the money" line. but this movie had something decent to say about love, marriage, commitment and greed. there are a host of other films out that are attempting to tell us that having affiars is just fine. there are plenty of films that celebrate greed and it was simply nice to see a movie that was attempting to say something true. on the whole i felt that the movie was put together very well. there were some scenes that the movie could have done without but this is the case with every movie. i especially liked the imagry of the divorced womens group that was given to us throughout the film. thought a bit cheezy i did like the inclusion of jerrys mentor that came once in a while during the movie. ending with him was kind of dorky, but it was nice. i give this movie a 7.7 rating.
