Now, don't get me wrong, I liked this movie somewhat. It's not great, it's not horrible. But I liked watching it. But here are some RIDICULOUS points:

1. If you don't want your daughter being "tainted" by shelters for abused mothers, take her from city to city, change her name as well as yours. Have her meet several men such as her estranged grandfather and your ex boyfriend, and have a high speed car chase with people chasing you. That will help her have a normal childhood.

2. When your new husband makes a threat to a strange man just to buy his house, that means he's a loving husband.

3. When your father-figure boss finds you some family's house to stay at when you have no where else to go be sure to insult their ethnic cuisine. ("What IS this??" "It's food." As though they were eating out of a garbage.)

36. If a tall, strong black man is your teacher, then you can absolutely master the art of self defense in less than a month.

37. If you're trying to escape your insane husband, the one place he will never look is your ex-boyfriend's apartment, especially if your ex-boyfriend attended your wedding.

39. Have a rich daddy who can finance your escape plan.

40. After you've beaten the crap out of your abusive husband but hesitate about murdering him, turn your back on him and distract yourself by phoning your friend. That'll show him!

41. It is perfectly normal to go to a stranger's front door and threaten him into buying his house. Of course, this goes unnoticed by Slim, who seems to love that he is doing it.
42. Unbeknownst to Slim and Mitch, the Bradford Family from "Eight is Enough" once lived in their new home.
43. When a thug wants to be menacing, he will pull a knife, put it to your throat and then proceed to slash your oversize couch.
44. It isn't a good idea to let your young child play with a basketball unattended on a busy pier while you flirt with your ex.
45. Rich executives go trolling for hot, Latina waitresses at diners in the hopes of making one his wife.
46. Slim was Mitch's "loaf of bread," but his mistress was simply a "croissant."
47. A gun would probably work much quicker to kill your abusive husband than a full month of krav magra training.
48. It is a sure sign of trouble in your marriage when you are at the beach playing with your daughter and your husband is blankly gazing into the distance.
49. It is OK for a cop to take a leave of absence from his job to hunt down the wayward wife of his psychopathic friend.
50. Mitch has some clever hiding places for his guns!
51. Every abusive husband packs heat.
52. You gotta give Mitch credit for one thing: He was right that it was breaking and entering when Slim's three friends broke into their home to save her.
53. Is that apple juice Mitch is drinking with his dinner?
54. Slim sure can pee for a long time; she must have really had to go!
55. Mitch still wants Slim -- to beat on some more, of course.
56. When you strip naked and your husband rejects you, you better believe a right hook to the jaw is coming real soon!

57. Its a good idea to wait after you leave your husband to try and get money out of the bank account.

58. If your murderous ex crazy husband risks to force in way to your new home, it's useful to have an exit door with an ingenious auto lock system.

Or you can just blown his brain out with a 50 bucks shotgun, say 'home invasion' to cops and show them the broken door behind the beheaded body.

59. Friend zone the crap out of a guy.
