RJ Deeds’s Reviews > The Slap > Status Update

A moment of weakness ... a friend at a party slaps a brat of a child (whose parents are morons) ... they sue him .. ends up with court cases, long-time friends falling out. The film is good as well, closely aligned to the novel. Wives and girlfriends differ in views to the spouses and boy-friends. The laddish culture of the Antipodeans is clearly spelt out. Modern, poor parenting on trial. Old values better?
