I get it, many are hyper-sensitive, but this film was just a cliche and unprogressive approach in some severe ways that made it hard to watch. This movie focused a lot on making fun of any progressive change and reasoning, and sure, some of the "woke" movement is absurd and contradictory, but so were things of older days. I didn't enjoy the deliberate ignorance and cliches used in this film to try to make it funny. It took all the typical stereotypes of old and new, such as viewing ones wife as a means to an end or object for sex, a strip club scene that is quite explicit seems like a very odd and lazy way to get the point of the movie across--I think that was done deliberately to trigger certain people. In fact, I think it was done out of spite. It wasn't necessary and was pretty insulting to watch as a woman. What woman wants to watch a strip club scene that is unhealthy for men and women and naked women sexualized?--Not me! I think any straight male would say the same if put in the same situation with their gender in film depicted in the same way. The plot could have been a lot better and more mature, but the jokes from the antagonists were just so extreme and immature that it was hard to appreciate the film and plot at all. In the end, the main characters "come around" to their ridiculous and unhealthy mindset, but clearly they aren't truly changed. It's a movie that makes you feel confused and empty, but as if you should feel bad for not thinking it was funny? I think it was done poorly and the narrative of making fun of millennials and gen z while perpetuating the immaturity and insanity of the past just seems lame and lazy to me. They try to make the ignorance of our past funny and still relevant, like using the sex sells and strip club scene like it's cool, and I am just so over that type of approach and directing.
