” hit theaters in 1994, the story of a muscly spy moonlighting as a computer salesman while his bored wife found secretive ways to pursue purpose was fun, fresh and provocative. Fast-forward nearly 30 years, and many of the film’s tropes and stereotypes just don’t hold up.
She believes her marriage is in a rut until her friend wonders whether the extended trips and secretive phone calls could be an affair. Cue Harry’s guilt and an invitation for his wife to join him on his next work trip, in Paris. Speaking of that work. While it was necessary to update Helen into a more savvy wife with her own skills and knowledge, bringing her into the fold so quickly is also the show’s biggest mistake. It removes the tension between husband and wife, while also eliminating the title’s promised lies. As a result, there is a lack of passion between the pair.
