Spoiler warning...
Go to see this and you will watch a film where: - the male lead is manipulative, a lie and a cheat, and at no point demonstrates his own real virtues; - the female lead is self-absorbed, hates her father because she herself missed her own mother's funeral (I didn't get that bit either), jilts the English fiancé she has been madly in love with for three years with no justification, and runs off to live with a man who has wooed her with lies and whom she knows absolutely nothing about; - the fiancé accepts his wife's misdemeanours on the night before their wedding (under his nose) with no questions asked, and is the only innocently-motivated person in the whole film, yet is the only character who is made to suffer; - and the father-of-the-bride who encourages his daughter to drop her fiancé because he will be stable and consistent and won't bring danger into her life.
I'm struggling really hard to find an ounce of intelligence, integrity, hope or romance in any of this. The humour was childish, and the concept disturbing and nauseating.
Alternative strap-line: "Even vile egotists have the right to destroy lives and fall in lust."
