Cats, Waitress, and The Good Girl. Oh, and infidelity.

As much as I don't really gravitate toward cats, this had me laughing a LOT.

I just watched Waitress. In many ways it reminded me of The Good Girl, which I hated. However, where The Good Girl was depressing, dull and downright creepy, Waitress was uplifting, clever and gratifying. The whole premise is basically pretty, pregnant, smalltown wives with crappy husbands have affairs. Same exact concept. The thing is that one was so much better! You couldn't help but love the waitress, sympthize with her, despiiiiiize her mental husband. The good girl, she just...didn't inspire as much sympathy as she did pity. However, despite the fact that I like Waitress so much, it always makes me very uncomfortable when movies portray affairs in this manner. Sad, husband-trodden women find much deserved happiness with other men. My mind doesn't like to go to that place. I don't like thinking about how that must feel. It's such a sad, sad image. And it's confusing. If they do the "morally" right thing, they stay faithful to their husbands, miserable. But if they are with someone else, life is a better place for them. They both seem to resolve this quandry in the end, but still. It was there.

Anyway, what I wanted to say all along is that I recommend Waitress very much. It was very, very well done.
