Men need more hobbies but like maybe don’t do your wife like that. I really liked the movie but everytime I started to like how his life was improving I thought about his wife. I think if it didn’t have the affair undertones I would have rated it a 4/5.

very charming, but the movie kind of sidelines the whole family conflict and never really resolves it which is weird.
