The Female Brain is without evidence of critical thinking from anyone involved.

Griffin, showing an easygoing charisma and sharp comic timing, is a slam dunk. Otherwise "The Female Brain" is mindless.

By the time the film chugs to its nonsensical ending, it's become a very familiar feeling indeed.

Comedy about science behind romantic choices; sex, cursing.

The film isn't quite the sum of its really great parts. This doesn't keep it from being a fun ride throughout though.

This movie is funny, interesting and criminally underrated!

I think some bad reviews are because people expected something more biting from Whitney Cummings and Neal Brennan--I know I did. But it was a fine date movie with an appealing cast and interesting views of multiple relationships. As a scientist, I found the science-y stuff hilarious. (This is NOT a documentary and although you can probably find that someone somewhere made the claims stated as fact, most of it is not supported by well-designed, reproducible, peer-reviewed research.)

Interessante... As informações científicas sobre a atuação químico da ação do amor na mente distintas de homens e mulheres é mais interessante que o roteiro e o romance em si...

I really enjoyed the movie. It was funny, and wasn't afraid to point out the difference between men and women. The MP seeks to wire her brain like a man, but learns that she is fine the way she was already made.
