Extract/YMMV

• Good Adultery, Bad Adultery: Joel manipulates his wife into sleeping with another man so he feels better about lusting after Cindy. Suzy is depicted as promiscuous and wrong because she fell for Joel's trap. Joel, on the other hand is depicted sympathetically when he blackmails Cindy into sleeping with him.
• Informed Attractiveness: Cindy. Even played by the admittedly attractive Mila Kunis, she is treated as way hotter in the film than she would be in real life.
  • • Well she was the hottest girl in the girl in the cast.
  • Brad, on the other hand, is also very attractive, but character reactions tend to be far more subtle.
• The Woobie: Poor Nathan.
