A Criminal Comedy

Let's face it. What Julia does to get her man back is, not only criminal but unforgivable. I couldn't pass that one, not in a comedy, maybe in a film-noir.

What Julia does to get her man back is,

The funny thing about that is that she wants him when she can't have him. He tells her he's engaged, then she all of a sudden wants him? She probably always had feelings for him but she just kept him as a back up for so long.

I think they made this movie to have the audience root for Kimmy. She was ridiculous at times but she was a far better person than Jules. I loved how sweet and forgiving she was in the end. She is a better person than I am. I wouldn't have given her the time of day at the end.

Women do horrible things when they are in love or are rejected, revenge stuff and things like that. I assume men do it too...

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

But to be fair, men aren't immune to the role either. That's kind of what makes this movie special, as an anti-romantic comedy.

A person hates you because they either wanna be you, see you as a threat, or hate themself
