after have see this movie about four time i have to say that this movie be a biting look into the life of 4 friend that may make you uncomfortable and or hit you right where it hurt . quaid and macdowell and kinnear and collette be two married couple who have be friend and share life and story and the raising of their family for 12 year . collette drop the bomb and alone and on quaid and macdowell and that kinnear be leave her . the movie unravel the friendship by expose that neither quaid or macdowell like kinnear and collette very much and individually and after their secret and lie be expose . i think true friend overcome and and real friend fall by the wayside and a in this movie . great acting and dialog and direction and etc . but a intense and deeply emotional film that may cause you to look at your friend and your spouse differently . and ask the question represent could it all fall apart .
