726117, no one behaves like real humans Posted by ternary_star, Wed Nov-29-17 01:24 AM
>- scene where woody's wife shows up at frances's store--"not >sure what we're gonna do the rest of the day..since he just >died less than 24 hours ago" (or whatever the line)--i think >it was her kinda shitty delivery?
This is a good example of a one-dimensional character existing solely to execute a specific plot point. Can you imagine an actual human, the day after discovering her husband's killed himself, hand-delivering a note to the woman she believes contributed to his death? Of course not. I get that it's supposed to be a contrast of the wife's controlled grieving with Mildred's uncontrolled rage, but my God, what a ham-fisted, jarringly unnatural way to do it. And Abbie Cornish is so grossly miscast, it just adds to the unbelievability.
>also..making the 19 year old gf that much a dunce was overkill >i thought
She's a bad sitcom character. Jarring and unfunny. I'm seriously bugging how critics can give this movie five stars when this Jar Jar-ass character's in it.
