He's pretty though. The movie would have been much better if he had to strip once or twice. I wasn't sitting there watching this movie for his acting ability, that's for damn sure. The script was ridiculous though. Six men are trying to kill him and his family, and he's repeatedly calling his shrink asking him if he should defend himself or kill the baddies? Huh? That's not how anti-social PD is or how lithium works too. You don't have a personality change if you miss your pill every four hours either.
I wouldn't mind a sequel if he wore less clothes. I like a brooding hottie with psychopath tendencies. lol
I took it as he couldn't get an erection. It sometimes happens in a relationship. But I think the director was trying to show that Clive was thinking more about Aniston at that moment and couldn't perform or he was saving it for her. And some women don't mind if the husband can't get it up all the time, there are other ways to please her. I'd shove his damn head down there and put him to work, for instance.
When the guy first broke into the room, I turned to my friend and said "This might be a set-up". I had seen an SVU episode where this happened almost the same way except the couple would kill the cheater. Then the fact that HE was being blackmailed and not her. I again said "Why isn't she also being blackmailed, and if she's conning him, she needs to say the same thing is happening to her. After all, he got her purse and information." Then the abortion at SIX weeks??? Hmm, and it seemed when she told him it happened like weeks before, certainly not days! And why not get the morning after pill if you were raped four times or twelve times in one night? That's what I would have done.
The rest of the movie Clive did one incredibly stupid thing after another. I mean, he thinks his wife will be pissed that he went up to a hotel room and was attacked even before he had sex. Yeah, it would piss me off if my husband told me this. But with a terminally ill or needing a transplant kid, and seemingly everything is fine in the marriage, I'd have been pissed but wouldn't immediately call my divorce lawyer. But the 10K payoff and THEN the 100000K payoff, all my daughter's medical fund? I'd divorce his ass. He should have just come clean, maybe not at the 10K mark, but definitely at the 100K. And whether he did or did not F Aniston, I'd forgive him, but say that I now have a Get Out of Jail Free card now for whenever I want to use it if I want to have an affair. That would make him crazy, even if I had no intention of using it, it would keep him suffering and wondering when I'll ever use it.
So yes, the first time I thought it could be a con happened during the break-in. And I'm not a liar. The other twist about LaRoche surviving I didn't see, because I thought the cops said there were four dead bodies. The ending annoyed me enough that I didn't go back to check if I misheard him. And really, Jennifer Aniston was dreadful in this. 4/10
Especially when the attache case holding the money is straight out of central props. Who carries a case like that, if it doesn't have money or something top secret in it? At least put it in a normal looking suitcase or duffle bag.
And if he transferred the money to another bag, he might have found the tracking device.
Or Tony could have said that after Margot was taken away with her purse and key that he made another copy of the key and put it under the stair in case he locked himself out for whatever reason. Many people do that in real life.
Frankly, with a murder in the apartment, Margot's supposed key still in her purse somewhere at headquarters during the six months of the trial to execution, Tony if he had any sense would have changed the lock, especially since there is a question of how Swann got in. He should have wiped the slate clean, with a new lock, new keys.
Also, did anyone else notice that their door automatically locked upon closing? When Tony left the apartment that one time after meeting with the Inspector, he definitely just shut the door, and then a few minutes later the Inspector used Tony's key to get back in to the apartment. So Margot didn't even need a key to lock the door after Tony left for the stag party.
Interesting, because at one point, I think when Elmer was laughing, that I actually visualized Kramer. Maybe Michael Richards is a fan of this movie? I definitely saw Kramer in Elmer at that moment.

I had to laugh at her reviews, it was clearly from her stagemother and alter-egos. Even her "talent" agency went overboard on her on IMDb on her bio. Not going to put down a child, but she just wasn't a natural actor. Some have it, some don't. She wasn't AWFUL, but she pinged my "Bad Child Actor" bell most of the time she was on screen. Even when she was just speaking into a phone. And since she stopped doing any work after age 14 it was obvious acting wasn't for her.
I'm rewatching it right now. Haven't seen it in reruns so this is the first time since the early 90s. I'm surprised by the extremely poor acting of Andrew Shue and Grant Show. Was this their first acting jobs ever? They were TERRIBLE. So, I can understand how Andrew Shue never had any sustainable career. Grant is on Dynasty and he's a bit better, but still he's no great shakes.
More projecting from a MAGAt. Nice.
Beatty's hair really did look like a wig, as well as Christie's, Warden's, and Grant's. Also Fisher was definitely wearing a wig that looked so bad she had to wear the bandana to cover it up. Odd for a movie called Shampoo and about a hairdresser. Or was that the point?
Yeah, when I saw the bows I knew it was a wedding. Who would put BOWS out for a funeral? Unless it's Donald Trump?
Right? Couldn't they just say UNDERPANTS???? It was so annoying. Panties sounds so stupid in court. And creepy. It reminded me of that Seinfeld episode where he was trying to talk dirty to his girlfriend and said something weird like "Are those the panties your mother laid out for you?" or such. Gross.
Exactly! I wanted more nude Garfunkel. He was a cutie. I'd rather see him nude than Nicholson the whole film.
I thought the character Cindy was supposed to be a male BarbraStreisand drag impersonator.
It’s not even the worst wig Jodie wore in a movie. Check out her wig in The Accused.
Excellent analysis. Good points.
Exactly! I just came on here to post the same thing. There is NO ONE who only has a pair of contact lenses without having a pair of back-up glasses. You take the contacts out at night, get into bed, and have your glasses by the bedside table. Why he didn't just say that on the stand is baffling.
I've always felt that she saw him die of a heart attack in front of her. He woke up back in the present lying on the floor as if he died in her hotel room.
Otherwise he would have woken up in his own bed at the hotel.
But then why not forget a no-payout and just kill the Stepford Wife off so that Holbrook and Oscar Goldman can continue their own love affair? Why leave any loose ends? Her lover Brad will be framed for her murder and no one will believe him. Also, she would have insisted that they both get their life insurance policies up to date, so he'd get a hefty payout with her death too.
And they live happily ever after. And no one could imagine it even if they were a mentalist. That would be an even more twisty ending!!!
