So, I wasted 2 hours of my life watching "All the Good Ones are Taken" because I (A) never understand why the hell the movie was called that because I saw NO good ones in the entire movie and (B) the ending was totally unrealistic and awful. A quick recap (now remember the description of the movie was something about a woman forms an unlikely friendship with her exhusband's mistress): This 24 year old girl catches her husband cheating b/c he had videos of himself having sex with another girl on his computer (stupid asses--delete shit off your cell phones and computers) so the girl leaves and ends up moving in with her boss's guest house. Her female boss and her hubby aren't getting along b/c she devotes too many hours to work, whine, whine, whine so of course (cliche) the husband sleeps with the 24 year old. The 24 year old then gets pissed b/c the husband feels guilty and doesn't want to sleep with her after their one time so she seduces him and then she tells his wife. Husband makes it completely out to be his wife's fault b/c she doesn't pay enough attention to him blah blah blah. Wife kicks him out and kicks girl out and fires her. Girl has to crawl back to exhusband who now has new girlfriend living with him for a place to stay. Guy allows girl to move back in with him and new girlfriend and new girlfriend puts up with this shit (um, my bags would have been packed and out the door). Guy then forces girl to break into old job and steal shit which is apparently something they had previously done together except now job has new video camera security system and girl is caught on tape. Girl conveniently overdoses on pills that exhusband so readily has available while him and new girlfriend are off who knows where. Girl then calls boss's husband and passes out on the phone. Husband runs to boss who is watching the tape of her breaking in and stealing shit. They frantically find the girl's address and rush in just in time to call 911. Boss and husband reunite in tragedy, girl survives, and boss gives her her job back and she becomes a hot shot purse designer. And all I can say is "Are you fucking kidding me?" I just can't believe any of that is realistic for the following reasons: If my whiney ass husband slept with someone else and blamed me--buhbye dipshit (the wife was the primary breadwinner anyways--she didn't need his money), what new girlfriend allows her boyfriend's exwife to move in with them, and really what boss is going to hire back an employee who not only slept with her husband but stole from her company? And what good ones was the movie referring to? I saw zero good men in the movie.
Then I decide to watch "How to Look Good Naked." AWESOME SHOW! I have to get on there except I think I am not heavy enough to be on there. But whatever...maybe someday.
Then I take myself to go see PS I love you where I cried for the ENTIRE movie! FYI...don't go see sad romantic comedies by yourself when you are feeling unsure about the state of your own union (which is a whole other story). Then being thoroughly depressed leaving the movie I end up at dinner with a friend where we discuss our love/hate relationship with relationships. But still am depressed by this movie. even though it was pretty good.
Why do I put myself through this????
