Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): With an opera singer wife, he should have known to tell his daughters to shout "Brava!" and not "Bravo!" for their mother's performance.

The look: wallpapered, mortgaged, wife, 3-daughter, and a mustache domestic reality show.
The conflict: marital infidelity evolving in a cadence slower than the geological impact of a glacier.
The extra: Denis Leary doing his own trumpet rendition of Tyler Durden (aka Bradd Pitt).
Total: XXX - exquisite, excruciating, exemplary;
Bonus: The 'Last Scene' - seismically intense tableau vivant of a classicist dentist office pastoralia (Vermeerian light diffused in Leonardo's hyper-perfect composition/perspective of Adam and Eve sharing an oral procedure)
