So today I decided to drag Geoff to a chick flick (He is actually pretty good about seeing girly movies). I really wanted to see "He's just not that into you" because 1) I LOVE Jennifer Aniston and 2)I love Ben Affleck and 3)It seemed really funny.
Well... Lets just say, I left the theater VERY disappointed.
The movie portrays men as dogs that are only after ONE thing and Women as desperate, needy and without any self-worth. One character's husband cheats on her and of course, she blames herself. One character is the "other woman" and makes it seem okay because "someone she knows knows someone who left their spouse because they married the wrong person", so it was "okay" to have an affair. It also made many comments about marriage that took away from the sacredness of it.
The only story I did like (there is like 10 different ones going on throughout the whole movie), was Jennifer Aniston and Ben Affleck's characters. They were real people with decentcy and morals. Sorry if any of you have seen the movie and liked it, I don't mean to offend. But I wish I honestly would have walked out of the movie rather than stay. It just was a very worldly movie that just didn't mesh well with my standards and beliefs. If you need a good movie to see, which may be in the cheap theaters now, it's Marley & Me. Good movie with good family values.
That's just my two cents! Take it or leave it :]

I totally agree with you. I felt the exact same way during this movie. That office scene- YUCK. I seriously felt like I was watching a nightmare. Very disappointing.
Thanks for sharing. I will make sure not to see that one. Sounds like a waste of time and money! There is nothing worse than paying money to see a movie and being very disappointed. Neal and I walked out of a movie once, and they gave us our money back. Thanks again!
seems like most movies anymore are trashy. i don't see any of the "fad" movies. they're all sick usually. no morals, values, a lot of them are basically like watching the beginning stages of porn. if you go to www.kidsinmind.com i believe it is, they review movies in complete details so you can see exactly what is in them. we rarely see a movie without reviewing it on here... really opens your eyes to how much you don't realize is in movies.
