he had no reason other than "she did the same and she's with another guy now, so I'm unhappy and I want that to go away".
At the risk of sounding utterly presumptuous, this is the reaction I'd expect from someone who's never been completely devestated by a breakup. People make incredibly bad choices in the depths of the situational depression brought on by being dumped. It makes perfect sense to me both that he makes the decision he does at the time and that he immediately regrets it when it becomes apparent what that really entails.
No, I never saw the trailer. My expectations were based completely upon reviews, so I had a good idea what I was getting from the start. If it's any consolation, monshu was so bored with the film, he gave up on it halfway through and went to bed. I guess the plot didn't speak to him either.
Yeah, I didn't think Winslet's character was All That, but it wasn't hard for me to accept what she represented to Carrey and substitute the reactions I've had in an identical situation.
