Spoiler alert
It feels like a 12 year old wrote this script.
I do however love Lily Collins and her acting in this movie, so my criticism is wholly towards the writers.
This movie is so unbelievably unrealistic and removed from reality it is mind- boggling. There are 4 major life events between this couple where they each CHOOSE someone or something that brings them further away from each other. But if the idiotic choices of these people who apparently ache to be together wasn't enough, it is equally annoying the way these huge life decisions just conveniently get tossed to the wayside as if they didn't happen.
I mean how many times in one movie can both people marry the person they don't love, or have a child with the person they don't love, and then every time the bad relationship unravels because the partner cheated. I mean come on! Come on! What?? How are people giving this a 10 star? There are zero stakes in this movie. Even the climactic ending had very little effect on me, because he's now married to another woman! Does that mean nothing? The conclusion of their 12 year supposed romance is a weekend hotel fling?? Did he just annul the marriage and forget to mention it? Another huge life decision zapped away by bad writing.
This is why I love Jane Eyre over most chick flicks today. When Rochester proposes she stay with him despite being married, most chick flick leads just melt, as if the offer is enough. But not Jane Eyre. She turns down the love of her life for SELF RESPECT!
Ladies, choices matter! To me, it's a self respect sin to give everything to someone who has you as their weekend fling. It does not matter what they say, or how they make you feel. That's all garbage if you're not the one they're going home to at the end of the day and giving everything for.
