    It starts a bit slow setting the premise of the argument, one a bit nasty, but around the 30 minute mark, the laughs get going with the psychodramatic re-enactments. Later, before the 1 hour mark, it gets demented crazy hilarious. Wait for it. Sarah the Sock deserves an award. The dead doth trot on our common humanity!

    Interesting premise, poor execution

    This is a pretty awful attempt, largely because it's written by a full-time colorist new to writing, ugh, and the director is new to directing, coming from soundtracks, so this is why we're all disappointed. Anyone raving with 8/9/10 ratings are studio shills. You'll be leaning on the FF button alot during this self-indulgent time-trap. Avoid if you value your time.

    Repetition spoils a promising idea.

    The plot is one that has occured to all fighting couples - how do you prove who is right after the fact? The problem for the film is this involves going over the same dialogue many times leading to fatigue and a suspension of disbelief that anyones friends would put up with this. A game try and some good scenes - would make a good short film rather than a feature length one.

    Can't get into the story

    The premise of the story is pretty crazy. I can't get into the story at all. Even though the ending justifies all the preceding footage, I can't get into the story at all.

    2nd half better than first

    When other people started playing the main characters, that was funny. Thats what it should have been - Maggie Q plays the Australian, who plays the actress, who plays Maggie Q etc. Exaggerating each other. Cause the 1st half was boring
