  • Going to Vegas as a desperate solution has aged well: unemployment, recession and failed home sales establish motivation, followed by the initial gambling high and collapse.
  • Demi Moore’s appearance and star presence are selected as having aged well.
  • Movie depictions of wealthy people’s parties are praised for their glamorous settings and guests, although the specific parties here draw a dissenting reaction.
  • Diana’s uneasy return after the night with Gage is effective, although David’s subsequent lipstick-smearing sexual behavior is described as gross and bizarre.
  • The line distinguishing forgiveness from forgetting is praised.
  • The title is selected as having aged well.
  • Giving David the dog after the separation creates sympathy for him when his other behavior makes him difficult to like.
  • Jeremy’s uncomfortable jokes function as an audience surrogate and provide an underrated contribution.
