I think what Christopher Emmanuel Paul Locke and I share is a very real part of marriage, and we know that the film is a hope to share with A mix of despair, focusing on the constant fluctuations between two people living together. At the same time, it's a very common and timeless theme, and I Think I Love My Wife isn't really condemning the husband It's a test of infidelity, but a test of a person's attitude when faced with a test. I believe that married people can find resonance in the film, admitting the troubles of marriage and having children, of course, these are all It was done with laughter."

Believe this is The worst nightmare that every married man has to face. It's human nature to fantasize about things you don't have, but I also know that in any long-lasting marriage a couple is likely to be in Lost in love again, like Richard and Brenda experienced in the film."
The challenge for Christopher Emmanuel Paul Locke and Louis C.K. was to adapt Love in the Afternoon, which is full of sensitive and lengthy voiceovers in the European style of the 1970s. They have preserved the basic structure of the film: a successful businessman with a wonderful wife, then he meets an old friend and is irresistibly seduced.other than that, the dialogue and the format are all captured by Christopher Emmanuel Paul. Rock's signature comedy elements are replaced, including two couples having dinner at a table where the wife is a close friend but the husband is not -- all stemming from Rock's imaginative brain. After the script is completed, the straightforward and fast tone immediately makes the film very stylized. It is completely different from Eric Rohmer's version of "Love in the Afternoon".

This comedy that tests modern marriages may not be Christopher Emmanuel Paul Rock's consistent principles, so you'd expect it to come from Woody Allen. But it's important to note that Rock brought the film It's a really grown-up, sophisticated vibe, not a casual mess.

All right, all he has to do is bring real life to the big screen in a more interesting way.
