This movie was not sad.

Agreed- not sad. In order for it to be sad you have to care about the characters. If I ever met people like either of the main characters in real life, I would run screaming into the next country.

You--lighten up. You--big trouble. You--get in the car.

dertel, I have to disagree about the ending... I don't think they were getting back together. They just realised they made the right decision - they were both much happier in their new lives without each other. They will always care for each other but in the end they realised life is good - life goes on. I didn't think much of the movie when I first saw it but I am sort of going though a similar situation in my life so it really moved me this time. Not to mention I've been in this situation before. Life goes on, doesn't it? I think that's what the ending is about.

I agree with you Sash about them not getting back together. The awkward moment at the end when they parted because they had nothing else to say kinda evidenced this in that they'd definitely had and finished their time with each other. They'd had their love, they'd had their hate, now they had nothing and while there'd always be fond memories of their time as a couple they'd be reminisced separately rather than together.

Man, I went through this, and truly believe that I and my ex wife were just to young when we got married. We knew what the other was like, but she wanted to change me, and there is nothing wrong with that as i was still an immature fool at the time, much like Gary...still playing XBOX, hanging out with buddies and getting drunk once or twice a week as i did while I dated her and all. BUT, as my councilor said, a marriage doesn't end because of ONE person, it takes 2 to make OR break a marriage. I found immediately what I did wrong, but my ex STILL to this day can't see how she was also responsible for the collapse of a marriage (including pressuring me to marry her before I was ready).

Now as we get older, she is only now starting to admit her faults in how our marriage collapsed, and it takes some serious screaming matches to get her to such realizations (we are still on god terms 90% of the time as we have a child together), but she is SLOWLY getting there. I think the best thing that happened was her leaving me, I went through councilling and became a much better man and realized how I needed to change and grow the heck up, sadly she refused to see anyone for help and is repeating the same mistakes she made with me, with her current boy friend (she basically jumped right into the sack with said guy in less than a week after she ended our marriage). Sadder still is that she is repeating the same mistakes and is pressuring a guy she obviously has the very same problems with as she had with me years ago because she never learned her lesson as she is to stubborn and doesn't want to see her faults.

This is kind of how I saw this movie, Gary realized to late what he did wrong, tried to make amends, but it was to late. BUT while they were still living together, it was Aniston's character that was cruel in the way she tried to make him realize er point. My God ladies, is it so hard to just be freakin' honest and just sit us down and tell us EXACTLY what you are expecting from us? Instead of playing games and trying to use hints and little lessons, just say what you mean! The woman i'm with now is a couple of years older than I and she is a very good communicator, she is very honest, as am I, and our relationship ios great as a result. Why do women do this, they know what a guy is like, marry him, then try and mold him into their ideal man that they WISHED he were like? AND in the process, instead of just simply telling him straight up what they expect from him, they play stupid little games and either only HINT at what they want and expect said guy to figure it out, or they try and create little lessons in the faint hope that he'll realize what they want. Ladies, you say it yourself all the time, guys can be quite dull when in a relationship, and they are poor listeners. If you aren't VERY clear, why are you so surprised at the fact that they can't figure out the riddles/games you play then???

I didn't think it was sad either. It's another lack of clear communication story with a few laughs thrown in.

I like the girls marry guys vs guys marry girls thought. Personally I'm a big fan of something Barbra Streisand once said:

"Why does a woman work ten years to change a man`s habits and then complain that he`s not the man she married?"


reply

I think it was sad in the sense that at the end, I was hoping they'd somehow work things out. And that scene with Brooke crying towards the end really got to me. You can see by the look on Gary's face that he knew he'd really hurt her this time. I just think it was sad that they'd invested so much into their relationship like buying a home together and trying to start a new chapter in their lives, and it was all ended by lack of communication and childish behavior. So, in a way, it is pretty sad.

Absolutely. It was so sad it made Schindler's List look like a feel-good, giggle fest.
