After the Wedding: Forget the honeymoon

Julianne Moore and Michelle Williams
Q: When is a movie like a favorite old sweater?
A: When it's riddled with holes but still pleases you.

After the Wedding is one of those twisty, turny movies that manages to squirm away from you just as you think you have a hold of it. In the end, it did come together to the Movie Slut's satisfaction. While not entirely believable, it makes sense in an as-it-aught-to-be kind of way.

To the Movie Slut's annoyance, all the little holes that necessitated dispensing with disbelief could have been mended with a few small patches. Alas, it was not to be. Which brings us to a second question.

Q. How is a movie like an arrogant boyfriend?
A. They both think they can get away with anything as long as they show up in the end with a bouquet of flowers.
