After watching it again, I wanted to write a more extensive review about this, here we see how Jeremy constantly has to solve the mess that Lynn creates himself to the point that he himself is threatened, she does not want to listen to him until it is too late, at that moment even his current girlfriend abandons him.
A pretty realistic scenario in which 1 basic principle is very clear, regardless of the incredibly bad relationship decisions that women make, the man is expected to solve them.
Ritter is doing well as Jeremy, but Henry Winkler really steals the show as the somewhat strange Tony who, over time, turns out to be a true narcissistic psychopath.
The film's downside is that no backstory and information is given about the past between Lynn and Tony.
and the ending is also chosen rather strangely.
