Jordan shouldn't have cheated his first wife.
His first wife was with him through thick and thin. She may not have been hot but she was loyal to him no matter what.

I was just thinking about that earlier today and I do agree with you. It's funny,he claims today that him sleeping around with prostitutes wasn't considered cheating because there was no emotional connection but in the second book after him and Nadine were already separated, he accuses her of being with another man since their separation and calls her a whore, slut, bitch etc. It's funny how it's ok for him to cheat on his wife while he was still married to her, but the s--- hit's the fan when he starts suspecting his soon-to-be-ex is already dating someone else after their separation.
shareI am a little old school. I believe you can be an absolute *beep* to make it to the top in professional life but when it comes to family, you should be very loyal and loving.
shareThen again to divorce his wife and make sure things went smoothly he gave her more than 100 million according to his book. His wife was probably the only one came out of his mess a winner.

Are you saying you're incapable of being loyal to one woman because of your animalistic instincts? So do you fling your poop too? Inquiring minds need to know.
Excuse makers will always make excuses. No one said it's easy to be faithful, but it's not impossible and it's worth it. share

Yep.
This is why I don't feel bad when men get raked across the coals in divorce court. They deserve it. They make bone-headed, shallow decisions, drop decent girls and are surprised when the 24 year old hair stylist doesn't turn out to be their true soul mate share

Um...not all men are like this you know. And their are plenty of women who cheat on their husbands for younger or more successful guys.

I never meant to imply all men do that. I was just saying that I don't feel bad for the ones who do. share
True,it goes both ways.
shareYou are right, actually. Don't know what was Jordan looking for, exactly. He was either a sick bastard or like one of those typical bandleaders who think that they should get the top prizes so that everyone else envies them.
Naomi is a sketchy character indeed but I think she does the right thing by dumping Jordan exactly when he was starting to sober up- it is a particularly painful moment and a sort of a lesson to Jordan- he left Teresa for the simple damn reason that Naomi was more sexually willing and also willing to share his bad drug habits with him- otherwise, he never really cared about her and indulged in excessive adultery after marriage- and so Naomi sort of says it to him when leaving that, boy you don't even have that kind of dough soon because you will be soon screwed royally by the Feds and I don't need you anymore-just as how Jordan must have implied it to his first wife.
Essentially, the entire film busts the myths regarding the typical, high-end American Dream that one craves and what Jordan preaches in his speeches- the gorgeous, sexually willing wife, the big house, the big bucks, the amazing car and so on- and this is done away right in the beginning- Jordan's drug problems, his disturbing kinky tricks with girls other than his wife and eventually his desertion and his ultimate downfall.
Brilliant movie, IMO, but sort of hated Jordan for leaving a wife like Teresa. By the way, she was pretty attractive in her own brunette way- at times even more than Naomi. But that was the point of it all- you hate Jordan precisely because Marty and Leo set him up to be both the rousing hero and the disgusting villain of the piece.

Same here. She was not hot like Naomi but the fact she was loyal even when he had no job means a lot. Guess it was karma for Jordan - He deserted his loving wife when he started to reach the top and now Naomi ditches him when he is at rock bottom. share
Exactly. Except for the fact that I do find Teresa more hot that Naomi but that is just my feeling...i like more of a brunette look than a blonde one

Both.
I don't love her.. She kicked me in the face!! share
How would Ted Moseby have found his soulmate if they would have stayed together? It worked out in the end for her.
shareNo! Really? I'm pretty sure Jordan shouldn't have been doing all of the other illegal things in this movie. Of all the things he did, this is what bothered you? Jordan wasn't exactly written as a saint you know.
