Great Film overall
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
I liked this movie. It was interesting and entertaining. This was a good role for Whitney Cummings. I always so her as a comedian, but she manages to explore other acting abilities which I did not see before. A nice surprise.The main romantic interest between Kevin and Julia works very well. The only problem: I wanted to see more of it, and less the other couples. It is regrettable it was not explored more. In fact, I would have liked to have seen this film just with the main story line, explored properly. The Vergara / Cole storyline was particularly dull and disappointing; I wish they would have just cut it out from the film. The others were good enough, mildly entertaining, and casting was good (especially Marsden / Punch, which worked well). Beanie Feldstein is always entertaining, and it was good to see her again. To summarize, good movie, very watchable. I liked it.p.s. I am also a man! ;-)
Forget the science, this was billed as a comedy. Speaking as a male I often find female comedy to be very good and incisive. Was hoping there'd be some clever put downs about males and their masculinity, the bitchiness of the sisters to each other but no. It seemed like a starters manual to neurosurgery with lame attempts at comic interpretation in life. Didn't watch it all as I'd need brain surgery later.
We learn from this Misandry-loaded film, that scientific results are legitimate only then they are politically correct. And when I see a volunteer to one of her tests say "good morning", only to switch to a gratuitous image of a tied pig, I get the sorry state of mind of the makers of this hate film.
So, I am finishing watching the movie right now and noticed that it is listed as comedy but all it tries to do is justifying women's behaviors by using NOT SCIENTIFIC data. There is a female narrator all the time and she keeps pointing out that "we used to think ABC about women's brains but since I read a study on a blog, now we, the entire human kind, think differently". Which is obviously not comedy, but a feminist rant that has no correlation to reality and scientific data, since scientific axioms depend on data being collected through several years, by several different studies, most of the time thousands of them (Example: Einstein's relativity took more than a 100 years to get fully checked and we are still trying to figure and validate some of its aspects), and when they CONVERGE, the scientific community declares it is true to science. Which is NOT the case for any of the affirmations on "women's brains" made on the movie, like the one that says "now 'we know' that women and men have the same amount of brain cells" (obviously a lie because as I said one study alone means nothing to science, as well as only a dozen of them and cerebellum is different from brain, they are two different organs). One could argue "but it's a comedy". Well, as I said, it doesn't look like comedy because in comedy you don't try that hard to justify your opinions. Which makes the movie look so lame that you can't actually laugh at all. Also, the main female character looks superficial (futile sub-intelectual type). The male characters look artificially dumb and misogynistic on purpose but not in a funny way.
