Well they did it, they made Jason sudeikis unlikable..
The pacing of this movie was so jumbled it felt like they filmed much more and had to cut down a lot, perhaps on the cutting room floor is where the character growth for jake ended up. I can enjoy a morally bankrupt character on occasion but honestly it's baffling that his character didn't seem to learn any lessons yet got his happy ending.
It felt very unnecessary to have him hurt another woman (and her son) and tbh the entire ending felt out of place. There was no real feel good moment and the entire movie left me feeling... Dirty. And not in a fun way. I don't know if that was the intention but either way not something I enjoy in a romcom, maybe in psychological horror.
I will say the cast is stacked and it is a good hate watch but given the lack of comedy and the "romance" leaving you needing second hand therapy it's not something I'd watch again even for the anger release.
