A rather clever film that doesn't seem to want to stick to a particular genre, and masquerades itself as a dark comedy/drama. Don Champagne seems to have it all, a beautiful wife, 2 doting children, a perfect house and a job that is going exceedingly well.
In reality however his wife Mona is anything but perfect, she's a jealous lunatic who makes Don's life a misery if he doesn't conform to her crazy OCD rules that she sets him. She schedules sex in the calendar and makes Don read through their book of goals every night before bed. Soon this becomes too much for him, and when he claps eyes on his beautiful new employee Dusty, he can't help but fanstasise what if. The only trouble is, if Mona finds out about this liaison there are no levels she won't stoop to.
Heigl portrays a crazy wife exceedingly well here, and I liked to see Patrick Wilson in a bit of a softer, fluffy role that he has been previously known for. A good effort.
