  If you failed to draw the same conclusions as I, upon watching this shoddy tripe, I don't see how I can help you.

  You have lived this long, all the while making observations and reconciling these observations with your set of beliefs and values. I don't believe anything I write will change you or your opinion of the movie nor should it. However....

  In the interest of defending myself against the somewhat justifiable criticism of being a sort of hit and run poster I offer the following (I wrote by myself, with no help from a critic!!!!!!!!!):

  Here is a movie targeted to a certain type of woman. It manages to be offensive, not only to that subgroup, but to women in general. The movie is totally lacking in any sort of artistic merit, and exists as a sort of marketing experiment gone very wrong. This pathetic cookie-cutter of a movie is never less than predictable and never more than the bare minimum (and sometimes not even that). Stereotypes abound and
  nobody is spared the dull tip of the writers' pens. This would all be ok if any of the jokes worked. They don't. There's just no humanity to be found in this utterly calculated piece of horseshit.

  There you go.

    You stated:

    What type of woman??? How do you know women were offended? Do
    you have access to polls?

    You stated:

    Some of course, would disagree with this type of absolutist statement,
    especially in the area of actor performance.

    You stated:

    ## This would be OK if any of the jokes worked. They don´t. ##

    Found myself chuckling throughout. Of course, humor is a subjective
    matter, sometimes I laugh at things others don´t, sometimes vice
    versa, and then sometimes we laugh together! Bwwwaaaaaaa!

    You stated:

    ## There´s just no humanity to be found... ##

    ´Please don´t tell Mel and Helen there was no warmth whatsoever
    in their ending kiss, might hurt their feelings to insinuate they
    were merely mannequins mechanically going through the motions.

    P.S. - I consider WWW harmless enough, it is mean-spiritied, propaganda
    films like ¨Thelma and Louise¨, that disturb me.
