Ethan Emmerich

One of the best movies I’ve ever seen.

All the 1 star ratings fall into one of two categories: 1) Republican, conservative, person who can’t handle critiques of the patriarchal society we live in. 2) People who have never played dolls with their little sister, daughter, or niece. This movie was so clever, so many hidden “Easter eggs”, and for a silly simple fun movie their even were quite a few moments of second level social commentary (as in their was a layer beyond the “in your face” social commentary about male actions). People should remember this movie is written for the female perspective, as a male I appreciated it, I never felt attacked, and I laughed along because I understand that while we’ve come a long way, true equality has clearly not been reached yet. Those of you who haven’t figured it out yet won’t like it. If you have, enjoy! It was fun.

Couldn’t hear half of the sound in the movie. Between stupid sound mixing having the score louder than the dialogue and half the actors mumbling at the end of their lines it was just awful. Plot was thin at best. They wildly underutilized a star studded cast. It was way too long for not an intriguing enough story. Political back stabbing was not interesting enough to build a 3 hour movie around. If you’re comparing this to other documentaries, then this was a great documentary. But comparing to other political dramas or science based movies like west wing the TV series or interstellar, it did not match up at all. that said, there were many bright spots. But it’s hard to give props for the good when they’re buried in an avalanche of average This is truly a 2 or 3 star movie but I’m rating it a 1 because so many people are calling it a 5 when I know for a fact they don’t think this movie belongs in the top tier, so I’m rating it a 1 to balance it out. It was a middling movie. Unless everyone who is voting 5 stars has never seen good movies.
