English title: Adorable Creatures
On his wedding day, a young man recollects his past adventures with three women. The first one is married and will not leave her husband; the second one is a money-grubber; the third one is a widow millionairess devoted to charity events. As he goes through those relationships, his feelings towards his neighbor's daughter (shown at the beginning as the woman he marries) grows stronger.
While not exactly an earth-shattering masterpiece, this film deserves more recognition than it has. It is splendidly directed, and has a very decent screenplay. It is structured as an episodic film, with each of the protagonist's women being the center of one episode. The first one is possibly not as good as the two following it. This film has been accused of being misogynistic; well, that is the whole point of the movie, made explicit already in its ironic title.
Rating: 55
