I was forced to see it with mom, sister and wife. I can't believe men are still depicted as the heartless characters in films when every romcom depicts evil as good. However, like most romcoms the female can hurt everyone she knows if it will aid her superficial quest for some kind of make believe fulfillment and then, like Stockholm Syndrome, all her victims will forgive her or tell her she is the most important thing in the world and her happiness comes before anybody or anything else. This woman should be the scourge of the Earth and should receive social contempt for her behavior. This woman should be in court losing 1/2 of all her earnings to her husband whom she left to go whore about for no good reason. We have arrogance and selfishness put on display and covered with a false veil of gold. We have these sorry sack men who continue to tell her how great and special she is although she is the complete opposite of these things. In typical romcom fashion we have the arrogant female who leaves a trail of emotional wreckage in her wake (which we're supposed to discount completely as a sacrifice to the greater good of the female) while she searches the world for hippies, food and lovers. After her jaunt to India maybe she wants to go join the other vapid female crew over in Dubai for a walk in the desert with no water.

Julia Roberts plays the role of a spoiled, arrogant brat who is full of herself. These movies continue to portray hurtful and harmful behavior as a "spiritual awakening". And the people they destroy both mentally and emotionally still "understand" that their torturer is just finding herself. These romcoms are now depicting women as these spoiled, privileged brats who are entitled to leave everybody else miserable while they "find themselves". If this movie's main protagonist were a male, oh my God, could you imagine the female response? A male leaves his adoring, attractive wife to go bang foreign chicks while eating food? He would be considered a complete pig and further considered to be worth killing. The film starts out with a pampered princess who has a loving and decently handsome husband who falls over himself for his wife (Julia) yet she is discontent due to major character flaws which are likely attributable to selfishness, self-centeredness and arrogance so she she decided to go "find" herself with foreign lovers while eating Italian food. This film highlights fundamental flaws and defects in a woman's character and frames them as character assets. Just like Sex in the City, this film glorifies female borderline personality disorder.
