Movie: My best friend’s wife
Starring: John Stamos, Daniel London, Meredith Salenger and Tara
Westwood.
Director: Doug Finelli
Reviewer: Manuel Odeny
My best friend’s wife tries to look at unfaithfulness in the life of couples after a long stay and the first spark dies.
Steve
Meyers (John Stamos) convinces his wife Claire (Tara Westwood) of a swap with
his childhood buddy Eric Meyer (Daniel London) to avoid infidelity in their
relationship.
Meyers
argues that after birth and free sexual experiences couples are tied up
together in steady relationships. Boring albeit. The boredom may be eased by
controlled infidelity!
On
the other hand Eric Meyer finds it an uphill task to convince his sweetheart
Ami (Meredith Salenger) of the swap plan.
When
at last the swap happens the effect is felt in tension in their relationship
and family.
Tension
builds when Ami and Steve sleep together while Eric and Claire opt to be
faithful.
The
director Doug Finelli skillfully makes the story line to grip and the
characters play their parts superbly to hold the viewer to the end.
The
only thumbs down is that in African culture where sex in held in privately and
least casual the movie only makes for an emotional fantasy.
