When a female scientist studies the differences between the male and female brain, her findings dictate how she lives her life.

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.

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.
