I wouldn't go with your interpretation of the ending (I feel that's a tad stretched), but yes, that certainly is one way of looking at it. I still feel the scene was placed to reinforce the gender balance (and hit a cheeky punch in the process) after having shaken the applecart earlier.Shubhajithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040495040897333606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017832040275963428.post-22955060015431274442015-03-23T15:48:55.325+05:302015-03-23T15:48:55.325+05:30Great review!

I thought it was an entertaining look at the modern family and gender roles, with humor and realism so we wonder how we would have reacted in those situations. How it's tough to live up to pressures put on us by stereotypes in society. <br /><br />(SPOILER: The ending, for me the wife deliberately "got lost" in the snow storm so her husband could "rescue" her. To me it was not a heroic masculine moment but her manipulating the situation so he felt heroic and the kids perceived him as brave. I might be wrong, that's my interpretation of the scene.)Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.com
