I really like the intro to this…nice flow of time to the pictures.
And the couple becomes likeable 10 mins in, when the husband shows a good sense of humor and some wit, and the wife shows (I think) faithfulness, cuteness, and obvious (I think) love.
Shortly after that the teapot arrives on scene.
I like the sorta-BDSM scene but that’s probably cuz the wife is hot.
I also like her well-worded vagina defense, which takes place during one of the last really interesting scenes (a mostly-vegan meal clash).
There ends the good portion of the review. Because unlike how I expected this to go, it turns to (attempts at) humor and absurdity. The humor is sometimes dark, but more often it’s medium: not light-hearted, but not good enough for dark either. Luke-warm.
It’s just tedious after a while, the silly quality having destroyed any chance of emotional attachment or taking anything seriously…at least for me.
Eventually things end, probably as you expected them to after a certain point.
Great idea, decent start…WRONG direction. This should have been a thriller, a creepy morality play. Not a comedy. Or it should have been a really funny comedy, which it wasn’t.
Grade: D
