Why isn't the film about the B couple?!
23 January 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The main couple are a snooze fest and Wayne is a total jerk who's really hard to root for, he's spiteful and bitter and petty - a complete JERK! Why does he behave like this?! No idea, but I got pretty sick of him telling Loretta how she should behave and express his disappointment that she wasn't the girl HE wanted her to be. Gross. Gross. GROSS! He's small too, trying to force Loretta back into the little box he's happy staying in.

The B couple of the sweet lawyer trying to impress his father in law to be was much more endearing. The father he was trying to impress was similar to Wayne in thinking "I'm a rugged outdoorsman, that makes me the MAN in the room and I don't respect anyone who doesn't conform to that!" Also a total JERK! How about both of these lads take a running jump and attempt to get over themselves?! I would have liked a whole movie about the the lawyer trying to impress a man who's too arrogant and overbearing and Paul teaching that man learning that his way of doing things isn't the be all and end all, challenge he antiquated masculine values. "Paul's not the type of guy I pictured marrying my daughter" says Arthur - well good job she's a grown person capable of making her own decisions and she LOVES PAUL, so it really doesn't matter what you think.

UGHHHHHHHH - why do women like Loretta have to shrink themselves down and change themselves to become the person their small minded, arrogant men want them to be?!??!??
