false notes

I found this film very disappointing. There was too much bad dialogue. And too many things didn't fit together. Why was everyone so glad to see him at the first houses, but later he began to run into nothing but hostility? Artistic artificiality? When he mentioned that his girls were playing tennis at home, why didn't his friends look at him like he was crazy? People may have exchanged glances a little, but now we know the ending, they should have been deeply concerned about him. Why didn't anybody raise an eyebrow at his running off into the woods hand in hand with a pretty young thing in a bikini, a former baby sitter? But, maybe worst of all, when his ex-mistress saw that he was beaten and confused, what on earth could she have meant in saying she would drive him "home"? What home? Why was his former home so run down? It might be abandoned, but people do not leave mansions like that unattended. And overall, just how crazy was he?
