[quote=Anonymous]Just watched it. Very mediocre. Weird bits:

- no scene with the girl getting in trouble for the party

- dad comes into the house and sees a mess from the party and doesn’t ask what happened

- the weird reopening of the door

- Rory forced to walk home after being humiliated by both his wife (at the dinner) and his mate (who didn’t want him in on the deal) and he’s humble and quiet. He’d be furious.

- the rising for the horse up to the surface

- the wife dancing at the bar

- the wife giving her coat away for free when she clearly needs money and is working as a stable hand

- wife has a meaningful scene with her mom before she leaves and you never see her communicate with her mom again

- wife can confront husband (at new London flat showing, when he asked to move from America, at the fancy restaurant when she drinks from the wine bottle, etc) but says nothing when she realizes he lied about the reason for the move. Doesn’t raise this later when he asks her for money or when weeks pass after 10 days when he said money was coming in.

- we see Rory steal his coworker and friend’s Norwegian fisheries idea but never the fall out from that (no fallout with the friend over that, no fallout with the boss). We just see that somehow Rory and the coworker he stole the idea from are meeting with the Norwegians at the dinner.

- the wife wanted to contact the school immediately about the daughter’s issue with the teacher. This shows she’s protective and assertive. Then why wouldn’t she walk right back into the school after the son said he’d been bullied?

It’s like the characters were developed in some ways (assertive, angry) and then those same traits were abandoned at other times. This goes true for the scene where the door reopened. Clearly that had meaning but it was left undeveloped and the idea was abandoned.

Too much of that in this movie and therefore rotten tomatoes 🍅 is off the mark. 👎 [/quote]
