The Wife

Sweet Jesus she annoyed the HELL out of me! You're really jumping down your husband's throat over a couch when he literally just killed someone and is struggling to cope. I agree the couch was hideous, but in the grand scheme of things, did it need to be discussed then?? Was there not an easier way to approach the subject??

Also, yes he overreacted slightly in the restaurant but she definitely made it a bigger and more embarrassing situation by getting up and storming out. They could've played it off by acting like they accidently knocked the glass over. Besides, the little boy was being rude by interrupting when 1) he saw his parents speaking to each other, and 2) he had already gotten a warning not to interrupt adults. I can't stand to see people let their children get by with "seemingly" mundane things like this because they eventually carry over and make rude adults. When we were growing up we wouldn't dare interrupt adults unless something was wrong and I'm only 26 years old.

Sorry for the rant but the wife was insufferable through the whole movie. Every time she spoke I was like "Ugh, you bitch!" lol

You do realize that this is a movie, and the wife wasn't real, eh? She was an actress playing the part written for the "wife". She had no control over the part.

Perhaps you should complain about why it is that male writers and producers so often write unpleasant bit parts for women.

You do realize that this is a message board in which movie watchers discuss the movie in detail?

No one was talking about the actress, Ms. Misandrist.

Agreed.

And you forgot to mention the worst: he just blew the intruder’s brains all over the wall, but is not sure he’s dead. Right then she appears behind him. “RICHARD!” Yes, I’m sure that’s the thing to do — startle the SH1T out of a man holding a loaded gun and on edge after shooting someone. He of course whirls round, ready to blast her. I thought for sure the intruder would spring to life, taking advantage and killimg them both.

Are women really that stupid?
In the movies, they are.
