Unnecessary harassment scheme; wife disputed

In the discussion (5)

Weak link: the harassment scheme is unnecessary to framing Tom for the failed CD-ROMs, although it is necessary to the movie's premise and marketing.
One participant names the wife as weak link, arguing that she adds little and inconsistently supports Tom; another participant had her under aged worst. The suggestion that Tom should instead partner with Meredith begins here.
The wife is criticized for insufficient anger and inconsistent characterization, unlike Jeanne Tripplehorn's Basic Instinct character, who continually exposes the protagonist's nature.
A defense reads the wife's doubt as showing how harassment victims are questioned even by loved ones. Dennis Miller's response is compared with victim-blaming arguments heard in the 1990s; the hosts explicitly reject those arguments as excuses.
The wife is still judged too forgiving, with a proposed scene of renewed anger over mundane requests such as coffee.

David Spade has one effective scene in his familiar comic mode.
A cameo candidate is named only in the unresolved transcript form “Indie Dick.”
Jeanne Tripplehorn’s uncredited cameo is easy to miss.
The actor playing Winona Ryder’s mother’s new husband wins because every brief appearance produces a joke, even though the panel cannot name him.
