The short story on this movie is that, on almost every level, it is a pretentious, dishonest, and distorted depiction of adultery. The storyline is rife with false equivocations and euphemisms for Gabby's lack of character and fidelity. Both Matt and Gabby emerge from their adulterous affair unscathed with virtually everything they want. Elliot, the husband, never gets an airing or understanding of the specific marital conditions Gabby's uses to justify cheating and he accepts her back with no questions asked. Gabby says "She's sorry her actions hurt the man she loves" , but never addresses or acknowledges in any real way the personality and character issues that cause her to be an adulterer. It's a horrible story with a horrible main character.
