For Better Or Worse Takes On A New Meaning

Rating: Null/10 (27 December 2009)

This film was recommended to me by several people so I rented it. What this film tries to show is nothing in life is what it seems. We all know someone or couple who we think they have it all. Good job , nice house, beautiful children ,ect. But there is always something that we can,t or do not want to see. A man hates the job he has and the woman want,s more in life (them and twenty million other couples). Someone once said you cant run away from your problems but that is what they wan,t to do. Myself I would have liked to seen them get to Paris and feel the same way they felt when they were in the US. This film is set in the 1950,s so there are no doctors perscribing anti depressants which I think would have helped the character April and Frank we see in the film used alchol to a great deal.All in all a very moving film about the "American Dream". As far as the ending of this film I was expecting a major train wreck. (The end is tragic but I expected much more.)If you think your marriage is bad see this film and you won,t think it,s that bad.
