Debbie N Unbeluevable ..unclassy.. crass .. manahed a whole 45 minutes before deleting . Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/03/23 Full Review Sarah T I don't know what to make of this movie. The main character wavers between allowing herself to be treated like absolute garbage, and treating others like absolute garbage. This behavior is threaded with rhetoric about feminism, and by the end of the movie it seems to be saying that feminism is allowing yourself to be treated horribly so that one day you might find a guy who won't? I'm not sure. I'm not sure the movie is sure. The only thing the movie seemed certain of is that '80s movies are problematic but some people still love them. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/25/23 Full Review Ooo M This movie was less of a romantic comedy and more or a romantic tragedy. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/07/23 Full Review John P Starts slow and kind of silly. It definitely grew on me. Finished fairly strong. Enjoyable romcom. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/11/23 Full Review Cynthia S Watched it like it was a car accident... couldn't stop but it was an awful site to see.
