Mae gives quite a solid performance in this movie that just never gets off the ground. The problem is, the male lead is completely self obsessed and oblivious to the effects is words and actions have on other. This renders the viewer indifferent to any problems he may encounter, and no sympathy can be garnered. There's a few powerful and delightful scenes, and the supporting cast is certainly competent, but overall the scenarios they're put in and how they relate to each other comes off as not quite genuine. It's never made clear how long they were married to each other, but how she could stand even one month of his constant and unreasonable demands is confounding. Did she not know him at all before accepting his proposal? His relationship is completely unnecessary and a distraction this film didn't benefit from in any manner. Although I did watch it to the end and enjoyed moments here and there, I had to wonder why when it finally ended. Probably because I could watch Mae in any role, as she's such a captivating personality. The theatre skits were not too bad except for one.
