I watch a lot of not great movies and never hated one enough to leave a review. This was the most disgusting piece of trash I've had the displeasure of sitting through.
The tropes are misogynistic and shallow at best. Seriously, was someone working through some old feelings when they wrote this? Perhaps rewriting the ending of their own bad choices? It reads as therapy time.
Of course a person would be shocked to come home for Christmas and find a parent secretly dating an old high school classmate. Of course they would feel betrayed. Any human with a modicum of emotional maturity can empathize. Did the lead act manipulative and childish? Sure. Did the parent and new SO also act that way? Yep. So why is the writer so intent on painting the only villain in this as the 'child'? I'm being sold that they should have accepted the news joyfully and immediately welcomed the new SO into the 'family'. Anything less is not only selfish, but bitterly disregards the genetic need for men to be with the youngest, hottest piece they can get.
The outdated jokes about rape culture, and reducing men to nothing more than Neanderthals controlled by their genitalia were offensive at best.
