Another perfect example why I don't like 'romantic' comedies.

There's a reason why I generally don't enjoy comedies, and especially romantic comedies. I have a few issues with this film. The couple's marriage is failing, but that doesn't really come across in the film. In fact, they seem perfectly happy most of the times, apart from husband Jack being a pessimist while wife Amanda is an optimist. Amanda sees the good in every situation and life in general, while Jack is the opposite.

The glamping effect also didn't come across very well. They stayed in a trailer on a farm, which is hardly glamping. The film then sets up a scenario where it seemed the wife was into hunky Nate, but this was so forced, boring and predictable that it simply wasn't credible. The whole episode with Jack and the Rambo-wannabe kid in the woods was also just downright stupid and brought nothing to the table.

The film then ultimately gives an idiotic 'twist' as to why we shouldn't like Nate. So what if he actually lives in Dallas and not Texas????

Yawn.
