This was the worst film I have ever seen. Married man meets ex-college-girlfriend after 15 years. Married man sleeps with ex-girlfriend upon first meeting, after inviting her to dinner (which his wife cooks) with his family. Married man and ex-girlfriend rekindle long lost love. Ex-girlfriend goes back to her 'cosmopolitan' life, that married man always wanted. Married man decides to stay with wife and child. Implicitly denotes patriarchal superiority. Ex-girlfriend = sex object. Wife = cook, home-maker and child-minder. Is wife supposed to be lucky that she got her husband back? Does she have another choice? This is a reification of stereotypical feminine roles which serves to perpetuate masculine hegemony and inequality. Blatant abuse of women. I'd like to believe that contemporary society would reject a film like this, but I may be a minority. So sad.
