And I think that anyone but a caveman could see what the husband was doing wrong. Guys like him are a dime a dozen and they usually get dumped or cheated on. In our day and age, there is no reason for women to not get what they want and to become long-suffering wives, it's understood. We're not in 1950. I dunno about Australia, though. But some reviewers are mad at the movie because it seems to justify the completely disproportionate and gleeful revenge with some rather benign complaints. When people overreact to perceived slights, psychologists see evidence of a knot in the psyche, a complex. So I ask what was wrong with HER to begin with? Everybody has a story, and every criminal has a few good ones to explain away his deeds, as any judge will tell you. But it's a little easy. Alexandra had other options, but she CHOSE to prostitute herself and exact cruel revenge on her dumb husband. Why? As you said, it's a revenge story and those are difficult to justify morally no matter what. The outrage has to be of a much higher order for most audiences (or juries) to acquiesce to retribution.
You know, I'm actually beginning to wonder if this was not actually written by a 'chauvinistic pig' out to sneak a point on 'evil and crazy harpies' right under our noses!

If you don't mind my saying, Jason, just from your comments here you are probably fairly young. After you've heard complaints similar to Alexandra's again and again, either about yourself or some other clueless bastard, you'll feel a little more strongly about what the movie is saying, trust me. It's an old story: most men have no idea how to make women happy, and many don't care. As for women, they often don't want to talk about their needs, and prefer to cry on other people's shoulders (everybody's and anybody's, really) or simmer in silence and explode apparently out of nowhere.
Now women are a lot more liberated and assertive in the West, and men have made progress too, but the War of the Sexes still rages there.
There IS a solution based on mutual understanding and true love. We are different, but surely we can meet somewhere in the middle, otherwise why bother living together, right? But this movie chooses to take the old female gripes to a new level by hitting men like a jackhammer with them so they wake up to how lame they can be. It's both unfair and counterproductive, and Alexandra comes across as an utter psycho, not a victim of male insensitivity. I read in an Amazon.com review that the husband actually does NOT get what Alexandra is saying, and the fact that he is aroused by her video is proof. That's a good point and it shows you how pointless and cruel her little scheme is. In all the flashbacks meant to justify her outrage, nowhere do we see her actually own her side of the failure or attempt to fix things. I find this to be a very simplistic and paternalistic view of women: those 'communicators' can probably muster the courage to speak up and ask for some change, instead of turning into time bombs after years of stoic and silent 'suffering'.There are some men that are so controlling and abusive that women have no say and no other recourse than flight or violence (Lifetime provides enough examples of THAT!). But this dumb hubby was nowhere near that level. The response was disproportionate to the offense, and the plan was twisted, not clever.I do think the movie has value as a cautionnary tale - not that this kind of thing happens every day, but it's on some women's minds. As you said, marriage is not to be taken lightly, my man...
