All I’m seeing on this movie are glowing reviews.

All we saw before this movie were funny trailers…so I just gotta say it. Nope.

This premise is brilliant. I’ll give it that. Ann Hathaway is great.

But…

To address the comedy issue: no. This is not a funny movie. It’s sad, anxiety inducing and very triggering.

To address the “brilliant plot twist” issue. Also no. Changing a seemingly very nice guy (because we’re led to believe he’s a very nice guy) into the absolute scum of the earth overnight is NOT a brilliant plot twist. Think of all your horrible guy swear words…he’s ALL OF THEM. And like, in less than a minute that switch flips. They try to fill this plothole later by having a flashback to when he was horrible as a kid too. This does not land. It was not brilliant.

To address the quirky plot line: YES! The plot is perfectly quirky and could have been so much fun! It was not. Why do that to a perfectly fun premise?

Okay, in conclusion, they were trying to make a point here, they just missed the mark. The point was, abusive guys don’t change. Don’t believe them when they say they’re sorry. Find a way out. I agree with all of this, but if you’re going to make a point by turning a fun movie super dark, give girls an actual out, because they can’t just fly to Korea and turn into a 100 foot monster. That’s not real, but bad relationships are.

So make the movie fun, or good, or teach solutions, or something, but dude, pick a lane.

Two thumbs way down.
