“Married Life” (2007) overview [ “Married Life” official poster ]
After several years of marriage, Harry Allen (Chris Cooper) has begun cheating on his wife Pat (Patricia Clarkson) with the vivacious, young Kay (Rachel McAdams). But the long-suffering wife may not be as long-suffering as her husband believes. Rather than see Pat go through the humiliation of a divorce, Harry plots to kill her instead. Meanwhile, Harry's best friend Richard (Pierce Brosnan) tries to steal Kay all for himself... It is a suspenseful melodrama and a dark comedy simultaneously. It's a look at stock characters who all turn out to be more than we expect. Film is wonderfully shot. Performances are top notch – a true ensemble cast who look and sound like they are from a bygone era. Pierce Brosnan and Patricia Clarkson seem to be having a good time and give the movie most of its humor, especially Brosnan, who can make you laugh just by looking put out and irritated.

Entertainment Weekly: "… congratulates its audience on a sophisticated, humorous complicity in the obvious immorality of Harry's murder plans…" Los Angeles Times: "… detours into a melodramatic comedy of manners and ends up confused." The New York Times: "Beyond examining the age-old battle of the sexes within the confines of a long-term relationship, the movie is apolitical." |
